| Title: |
Letters from Lois Purdy, 1904-1979 and her
sister Harriet describing their experience teaching
at Pearl Creek School, S.D. No. 1048, from May to
December 1924. "Mother", the recipient of the letters,
was May Purdy (full name Lena May Purdy), who had taught
in NWT [i.e. pre-Sask.] schools in the 1890s. There
is also a small collection of letters written to them
the next year by former pupils. |
