Description

A letter and envelope from J.D. Croan in El Monte, California to Walter P. Temple in Alhambra, California, 12 June 1922. In the typewritten letter on a letterhead for the Temple School (a), Croan, who is listed as Secretary to the Board, thanks Temple for covering the cost of the school's flag pole. Responding to Temple's concern over the school's finances, Croan states that funds were re-adjusted and that there was "no dishonesty" involved. Croan invites the Temple family to the upcoming commencement. Croan also states that the teachers are anticipating the school's visit to the ranch on Saturday the 17th, and that he told Perry Worden "good and appropriate things" about the Temple family and school. With creases, two puncture holes, minor acid burns, and minor stains, the object is in fair condition overall. The envelope (b) is postmarked for 13 June 1922. With moderate water stains, minor tears, minor discoloration, missing pieces, creases, and minor edge wear, the object is in fair to poor condition overall.
