Erickson, Olive Looysen.

Olive L. Erickson was contacted by the Washington State Library in 1953 for biographical information to determine if she should be included in the Washington Authors Collection. She had a published volume of poems titled Inspirational and Other Poems. Ms. Wilson sent some of Mrs. Erickson's later poems that were manuscript and a type written copy of each of her manuscript poems to be added to her published poems. Ms. Wilson states in her letter that Mrs. Erickson was living alone in a tiny house and quite lonesome at the time of the requested information and suggested that a letter be sent to her in response to receiving her poems. Ms. Wilson thought it would bring Mrs. Erickson great pleasure.
