Correspondence, 1937

The Alice Franklin Correspondence consists of two letters sent by Franklin to Myrtle Ohmart of Bottineau, North Dakota. The first letter is from September 30, 1937, in which Franklin references the upcoming visit of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Grand Forks. Franklin writes: "Big day here Monday as the President is spending 3 or 4 hours in our city. They are surely making plans for him. They expect 40,000 people that day. 8 different bands and what not. Don't imagine a person will get much of a chance to see the President though, unless I make myself a pair of stilts." The second letter is from October 19, 1937, and regards friends held in common by the two women.
