194326376Williamsport Pennsylvania: Not Published 1943. Over 300 individual pieces of correspondence sent to Betty I. Carvell later Eckert mostly from her parents and with a few from friends. A few of the letters are from women who served with her in the SPARS the women's branch of the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve established in 1942. Ms. Carvell Eckert's service career is documented by her mailing addresses: March of 1943 she attempted to join the USMC there is an official letter from their office requesting information; by August she is a A.S. W-10 billeted at the USCG women's training facility at the Palm Beach Biltmore Hotel Florida; becomes S 2/c advances to S 1/c and finally addressing her as Coxswain. Her living & working "barracks" address throughout 1944-45 was at the Embassy Hotel 154 W 70th Street NY. According to the official site 978 women officers and 11868 enlisted women served in the SPARs during World War II. Most letters are from her parents in Williamsport Pennsylvania. They usually consist of a letter each from father & mother and detail the vicissitudes of living in poverty their continuous and debilitating ill-health and their nearby relations and the struggle of finding work; having to buy expensive medicines required for their numerous maladies: rheumatism pneumonia high blood pressure sciatica nearly constant colds and bed-ridden bouts of collapse from various causes. Several letters written by the father go into great detail concerning meals that they occasionally are bought or can afford - the most basic of foods and preparation are appreciated as great important feasts. Occasionally having mashed potatoes are noteworthy as a luxurious culinary event. Local news is of great importance to Ms. Carvell who asked for the 2 Williamsport newspapers to be sent. Her parents are so poor they have to ask for money from their daughter to pay for the newspapers use the phone to call her and pay their rent as they move from place to place in the town. The father's writing is fairly literate and well-composed; the mother's is at an early grammar school level and still legible. Content includes local gossip neighborly strife and griping along with church school and other news regarding the town. During and after wartime there are concerns about brownouts due to the coal shortage worries about another war and labor & strike fears. A couple of elderly aunts run a shop rent out rooms and work until they die. At one point while still in the USCG Betty marries Robert Eckert and moves to Baltimore. Her parents are so poor they can't afford to attend. She also has a friend in Sheffield England who writes several letters to her over the years describing a pitiless tedious overworked life; a hard pregnancy; sick blind burned bruised children the telling of which hints at parental abuse; the injuries while severe are always reported as 'accidental' because the children are 'clumsy.' The post-war situation in England is rife with poverty; the most basic amenities are scarce. It was worth reporting that someone had traveled and been able to gain 4 pounds due to better nutrition possibilities and who promptly lost on return to the daily grind. Many of the greeting cards for holidays or personal events are sent unsigned. Also Betty's mom invariably signs her letters "Mother Carvell" not Mom or Mother; as if she may have been an adoptive parent; her father is always simply signed 'Dad'. A few SPARS-related items include a couple of decals and a one-stripe shoulder patch; also an official letter asking her to promote others to join the Coast Guard after her service commitment with guidelines for prospects & requirements for enlistment. There are a couple of dozen loose greeting cards and loose empty envelopes some of which may belong to the cards. There are a few news-clippings related to Williamsport news a letter from France from a service friend with a one-franc coin taped-in and some Methodist church bulletin ephemera from the town. Condition: For convenience the letters have been chronologically grouped by year and we will ship them thus. The first few years' envelopes are lacking stamps as Betty's father was collecting them; later years have their stamps & cancellations intact. Some soiling wear & tear to the envelopes; everything in very good condition. The content portrays small-town Pennsylvania American life in the 1940s and early 1950s the importance of family support and connection in the face of economic uncertainty ill-health and the struggle to start support and maintain families at all stages of life especially for women. .

194526074New York NY: Not Published 1945. A group of 40 letters and cards; correspondence between a young man and a woman friend who he met and worked with at the Jewish summer Camp Achvah; he later became a student at UC Berkeley. He had also attended the Jewish Camp Cejwin. Mostly the letters are from Edwin Finkelstein to his friend Natalie Levy back in New York with a couple of notes to him from her. The Achvah material is mostly camp gossip and scuttlebutt regarding the owners of the camp who according to the writer took advantage of the counsellors and workers: ".Concerning your job. You will have the same job and privileges as a regular counsellor. That is you will have the same hours curfews time off and days off. In regard to a bonus don't make me laugh last year only one person got a bonus.a whole $ 5. The only reason he got it was because his father did legal work form Mr. Barshad.Don't get involved in any counsellor uprisings.be good to your kids and you will get good tipslast year a good percentage of the girls were willing to go out on strike with the boys." Edwin F. works at Steve Cohen Boys' Camp in Hopewell Junction NY 1946 and writes of his work and play there during that summer; he continues to ask about and advise about Camp Achvah where Natalie is a summer counsellor. He notes that ".Achvah is a dump compared with this placehere were are treated like humans not like dirt." Nevertheless there is a great feeling of camaraderie among those who attend and work at the camps many reunions and get-togethers over the years. The last group of 6 letters are from UC Berkeley and the difficulties of coursework and enjoyments of attending that school and living in California. NOTE: ".In the 1920s and 1930s a recognition began to arise that the summer camp might play a significant role in Jewish education and the socialization of the Jewish child into Judaism. Samson Benderly the first director of New York's Bureau of Jewish Education was the first to recognize the unique opportunity that the summer camp offered for teaching modern Hebrew and other traditional Jewish values through immersing children in a Hebrew and Judaic environment. In 1927 he opened Camp Achvah the first Hebrew-speaking camp in Arverne on New York City's Rockaway peninsula. In 1932 he sought to expand the program and purchased a campsite in a rural setting in upstate Godeffroy New York. The expanded program retained the intensive Judaic program but was not Hebrew speaking as had been the program at the Arverne site." ref. Encyclopaedia Judaica 2007 "Jewish Camping" article. Other social and political events are remarked upon in the letter content for instance the high school student strikes and riots in the boroughs of NYC in 1945 which required police intervention and mention of a similar race related riot in Bergen College New Jersey regarding a disqualified black football player. Most letters with their mailers & cancellations intact; some age-wear and soiling; contents clean and in very good condition. . Manuscript. Not Bound. Very Good. Not Published paperback books
