Abstract
VC Ex 1920,11 letters to McAndrew (VC Ex 1920) from friends and family, dated between 1916 and 1917. The longer letters from McAndrew's family discuss social and family news, Vassar activities, naval exercises, correspondence and gifts from other family members, and promised clothing. A letter from Hazel A. Ware (VC 1913) advises McAndrew on academic and social opportunities at Vassar, describes Ware's experiences teaching school, and expresses sympathy for McAndrew following the death of her father. Shorter letters include an acknowledgement of a sympathy card, a tennis invitation, a Bible class reminder and reading assignment, a brief response to a letter McAndrew had sent, and a change of Thanksgiving travel plans.
