Additional Description

General

Two postcards from Mildred Dunbar, a missionary in Brussels, Belgium, to Rev. Robert S. Stansfield in Uaburn, New York. In the first cards, she informs him that she hasn't moved yet, but will as soon as she can find an affordable apartment or rooms. The second card is a plea to have people stop sending parcels to her as the Belgium government is imposing a heavy tax on parcels coming from America. She says that she knows of at least thirty-two parcels already on the way to her and that she will have to pay more than $100 to get them.
