Also included is a beautifully descriptive letter from a friend serving in France during World War I and before-and-after pictures of landmarks in Mineola illustrating the destruction of a storm in 1908. Loose snapshots document Cox on the road in West Texas demonstrating Westinghouse products during the Depression.
