A handwritten letter from an unidentified father to his unidentified son detailing the history of photographs he shared of Hastings Bakery. The writer mentions that some of the photos depict his father, Heath Munn, referred to as "Pa," and indicate he worked in the bakery as a foreman. Some of the photos belonged to a man named Hugo Zins, and based on description he could be pictured in some of the photographs associated with the letter. The writer details how all of the baking used to be completed by hand and that Hastings had a stable of horses that enabled them to deliver their goods. The letter is dated March 26, 1974 and was sent from Seattle, Washington.
