Personal Correspondence to Mother, 1946-1950

These letters give a comprehensive view of Mary's life in India, Pakistan, and Nepal. They are almost a diary, as they were written at least twice a week and are very personal. The great bulk of the material is from 1946-1950, the Fisk's years in India, and are almost all addressed to Mary's mother, Mrs. Clarence Wright of Oberlin, Ohio. The letters chronicle the social calendar of the Fisks and the problems of housekeeping in India. They also show the process of acclimation experienced by Mary Fisk. The later group of letters, from 1953-1960 are much less comprehensive, tending to only record special trips and events.
