Eight Letters from Various People connected with this School

1951. Paperback. All appear to be written in 1951 and all were sent to Rev. Campbell MacRae Lewistall, who is identified on a slip laid in one of the envelopes as Founder-teacher Blyden-Lewistall Private School at 314 West 133rd Street in New York City. Some letters are worn; all appear to be complete. Most envelopes present, some with stamps. Three of the letters were from Philip Nathaniel King, headmaster or head teacher of this Methodist-supported elementary school; one is from his wife; two are from his son; and two are from Mr. King's niece who was also a teacher at the school. All of the letters seem designed to establish contact with Rev. Lewistall who is addressed as Uncle. Some, including the letters from King's son, thank the New York Uncle for gifts, such as an air rifle. The letters picture conditions at the school as far from ideal and make it clear that the the Kings were hoping that their "uncle" in America would provide some financial support. Good. Item #73456
