Notes
Letter from Donor. "Enclosed one dozen ceramic eggs. These eggs were made and painted by patients at St. Joseph State Hospital, occupational therapy department in the middle of 1980's. They were sold around Easter time as a money making project for patients. My mother purchased one dozen. When she brought them home they were in a cardboard egg carton. These eggs have been on display in my home for all these years. I would like to donate the eggs to the museum so they may be enjoyed by visitors."
