Letter to Mrs. Elton Newman – Unknown Date, assumed June 2, 1940
Editor’s Note
Unknown Artifact Original Date
The actual date of this artifact is unknown because the artifact itself is undated, and there is no accompanying envelope with postmarks. However, the artifact is believed to have been written Sunday, June 2, 1940. This date supposition is based on the timing of the departure of the “advance party” mentioned in Art_1940-06-01 (this artifact) and Art_1940-06-04.
