Scope and Contents

Photocopy of the original letter. It is unclear why these letters are included with the collection, and may have been a separate research project that Julia Briggs was working on.

Also notable is Calder-Marshall's system of writing dates. He may have been using the Soviet Calendar, which dropped 2 weeks from February 1918.
