I tried to scan it but the print is old and smeared, a copy of a copy, so I had to rewrite it for legibility purposes. My mother received it from Gussie (Augusta) Travers Bryan in the early 1960s. The original letter is in possession of Marshall Berg's daughter who lives in Pueblo, Colorado according to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
