Letter from Wendell Brown on sharing Tabitha Brown's correspondence with notes by Liberta Brown

Description

Letter from Wendell Brown to his aunt, Liberta Brown Schoch, with notes written by Liberta fourteen years later. In his letter, Wendell apologizes for his delay in sending his letters from Tabitha Moffatt Brown and suggests that Liberta bring her husband the next time she visits. Liberta's notes state that all copies of the Tabitha letters in Wendell's possession were sent to her after his death. She explains that, while she lived in Forest Grove, Tabitha's descriptions of the country were still accurate and comments on her relationship with Liberta's father, Alvin. Wendell was the son of Ernest Clark Brown and Belle Rose Brown. Liberta graduated from Tualatin Academy in 1899, received her Master's degree in Education at Columbia University, and married Alfred Diehl Schoch. She was the great granddaughter of Tabitha Moffatt Brown, who helped found Tualatin Academy and is known as the 'Mother of Oregon.'
