Martha L. Moors family papers 1909-1925, n.d.

These letters were written to Laura Burrows, grandmother of Martha L. Moors, from 1909 through 1925. Most of the letters are from Moors while she was serving as a missionary in Angola. Two letters are from another granddaughter named Mona, who was possibly Moors' sister. Other letters are to and from correspondents whose full names are not clear including Lou or Louise, an Aunt Martha, and an Aunt Laura, all of whom appear to be relatives of Martha L. Moors. The last name of these women may be Burrows. The letters are arranged by date with undated letters last.
