Scope and Contents
This project comprised two looseleaf notebooks (I & II) with plastic sleeves pages. It included "188 answers, excluding latecomers, to 308 letters sent from Rosewell, New Mexico" by John Furnival. A self portrait photograph of each recipient was supposed to be placed into the windowed envelope and remailed to Furnival. However, many participants sent portraits of others clipped from printed materials. The envelopes and their contents were often highly decorated and contained personal notes to Furnival. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
