Albert A. Boyden, April 10, 1875-May 2, 1925: Reminiscences and Tributes By His Friends

Descripción

From the estate and collection of Albert A. Boyden's friend A. B. MacDonald [1871-1942. American journalist for the Kansas City Star, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Reporting in 1931]. 135 pages. Tipped onto front paste down is a typed letter, signed Bert Boyden dated January 8th, 1919. This letter is written shortly after Boyden's return to the U.S. from France and he is reaching out to friends to renew contact. Also laid in is a four page handwritten letter from Boyden signed "Bert" to "Mac" (A. B. MacDonald). This is on the letterhead of Ligue Des Societes de la Croix Rouge, Commission en Pologne where Albert A. Boyden is the Head of the Office of the Commissioner General, Red Cross and is dated March ? 1920. The script is very difficult to read, though seems to address his work in Poland. In fact, above the first line is penciled a "translation" of the writing believed to be in the hand of A. B. MacDonald. Finally laid in are two cards in the hand of Boyden and addressed to MacDonald. The first is an undated Christmas card, though perhaps circa 1919 as Boyden discusses arriving in France. There is also some discussion as to the work or each, and being in the service of God. The second card is a picture post card of the Grand Canyon, post marked, Mar. 7, 1919. This is with a brief note, primarily giving his address in Pasadena (?). Volume remains tight and clean, showing only a few light scuffs. Letter and cards show light smudges and age. The Christmas card has a tear with an old attempt at tape repair seen at the upper edge affecting the "Dear Mac" (?). N° de ref. del artículo 040218
