Scope and Content

A collection of letters sent to John Ryon while on active duty in the summer of 1949. By this time, John has been sent to Berlin so many of the letters are asking about that. Most of the letters in this folder are sent by his mother and sister, Ann, keeping him up to date on local news and sporting events. John's mother sent him many newspaper clippings with her letters. There is also a wonderful account of the celebration of the Tricentennial from his mother, who attended the festivities in Westerly and Stonington.
