1950s Overview

This section currently links to letters written in 1950 and the first half of 1951 by Philinda while she was with William in Bethesda.

Within a few months of Laura and Helen's birth on April 6, 1951, William was transfered to the U. S. Embassy in Guatemala. During the Guatemala period, Philinda wrote a great many letters which will be digitized in due course and made available in the Guatemala section.

After returning from Guatemala in 1954, there are very few letters on file. These few will be digitized and made available here as time allows.
