Hi !Thanks for viewing my auction.I WILL BE OFFERING
A NICE COLLECTION OF INTERESTING & UNUSUAL VINTAGE & ANTIQUE ITEMS
PLEASE CONTINUE TO CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS.
In THIS auction you are bidding on a WONDERFUL LOT of PERSONAL HANDWRITTEN JOURNAL / DIARY & LETTERS.The approx. daily 8 month journal was written by a heartbroken Grandmother (she refers to herself as "MEOE") from Alma , New York
to her only Granddaughter
(referred to by her nic...kname "Tootie" )
Notebook Diary dates from MAY 1962 through JAN 1963.
In addition are Multiple HANDWRITTEN LETTERS from little"TOOTIE"
and a few from Tootie's Mother (who would also be"Meoes" Daughter)
"Meoes" adult daughter had married a Man in the Navy and he was sent to Singapore for two years. "Tootie and her mother
also moved there......leaving an unhappy Grandma to record her VERY honest thoughts and feelings in the Journal.
The journal was not sent while "Tootie" was overseas ...but saved for her to read upon her return.I assume letters were written and sent by the Grandmother to "Tootie" as well but I do not have those...There are .however....the return letters written by "Tootie" and they provide interesting info about a child's Life in Singapore.
CONDITION - ITEMS have minor to minimal overall signs of age / wear/ soiling - Some pages have old scotch tape residue -PLEASE NOTE - While I have done my best to describe the item & show multiple images..... I realize that condition is subjective and what my seem minor to me may differ from the trained eye of the collector. Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding.
