Europe, 1937-1938

A succession of typewritten letters (many with Florence Jenney Hall's handwritten letters on the reverse) chronicles the Hall family's stay in Europe in 1937-1938. In his letters, Hall recounts the sightseeing tours he has taken and comments on the symphony concerts and opera performances he has attended. He describes time spent with other Oberlin College graduates, offers his reflections on political unrest in Europe, and reveals his interest in modern composers and works. Also present here is Hall's communication with The University of Oklahoma Press during the years 1948-1953 regarding the publication and printing of his work The Art Song.
