Ephemera at the bookstore

There's a really nice used bookstore downtown that also has an amazing ephemera room upstairs. There was a whole box of letters, most of them from a single family. I bought one, but here are photos of two that I didn't buy.

Most of the letters were written by the father of the family to his parents, the grandparents that Gerrit is writing to.

The letter that I bought is from the father to Gerrit about his behavior. Certainly seems like a letter that would never get written today. I'll post it tomorrow!
