Title:

Letter from Wilbur A. Sawyer to Peggy Sawyer Carroll

Creator:

Sawyer, Wilbur A.

Recipient:

Carroll, Peggy Sawyer

Date:

[ca. 1 October 1924]

Description:

Dr. Sawyer was in Georgia and Alabama inspecting malaria and hookworm control programs from late August to early October 1924, while his family finished a vacation in northern Michigan and prepared to move back to New York City. Both Mrs. Sawyer and daughter Peggy had written to him about the bed-bug problem in the family's new apartment; this letter indicates that Peggy provided her father with a vivid picture of her mother's valiant efforts to control the pests.
