A collection of transcriptions of letters from the writer’s two missionary sisters. One sister was located in Canada and the other in India. The writer mentions that the transcriptions were necessary because many of the letters were written in haste and not easily decipherable. The sister living in India traveled fairly often and taught at an all-girls boarding school. There are several pasted-in photographs and postcards from both sisters, although it appears some may have fallen out of the notebook.
