Letter to 'Edmund' from 'Hannah'

Description

A letter to an unidentified "Edmund" from "Hannah." The letter appears to be relatively modern, as it mentions snapshot photographs. It is likely that it was sent to Edmund Quincy (1903-1997) by a friend of the family. She mentions Paul, Nigel, and Catherine, none of whom are given last names.
