Correspondence, 1925-1935

The Henriette Naeseth papers, 1925-1974 and udnated, contains a scrapbook and several years of correspondence. The scrapbook contains letters of congratulations from colleagues and friends upon Naeseth's retirement from Augustana College in 1968. Several loose items were interleaved in the final pages of the scrapbook, including birthday cards and other notes dating to 1974.

The correspondence consists of personal and business letters, 1925-1941 and undated. Newspaper clippings and photographs are included with many of the letters. Personal letters written in Norwegian, signed by "Mama," frequently occur within the correspondence. Also, the correspondence contains several love letters written by a man named Roger. These letters often include romantic and clever expressions such as "even keep away orders are a delight when you write" (27 April 1937).
