Description
The Friendly Library is the focus of correspondence in this file. Book requests from teachers make up the bulk of this file. Miss Handy received letters from Janie Shockley, Miss Viriginia Dryden, M. Catherine Hancock, and Mrs. Grace H. Huancock requesting books. There are two letters in the file, one from Mr. Hood and the other from Miss Mary L. Titcomb, requesting Miss Handy take a position with the A.L.A.’s “Books for Everybody” movement. In addition there is a handwritten report on the Friendly Library in a handmade, blue book. Some of the correspondence is posthumous.
