| Custodial history: | The collection was purchased by Debbie Campbell in 2011 from a theatre professor (currently teaching at Millikin University in Decatur, IL) named Alex Miller. The letters were given to him more than 20 years ago by a nun (name unknown) in Paola, Kansas. Debbie bought them from Alex because she was interested in stamps, but upon looking at them, thought the radio history was what really made the collection valuable. |
