LETTERS

Theodore G. Ott's Personal Letters

Once again, many thanks and love to Dawn for getting all of these materials into digitized format to be shared with the world and all the family.

I have tried to place these letters (with envelopes where available) into some sort of chronological order. There are places where this was not possible. The dates listed are the dates written not the dates the letter was posted.

I have not tried to put them in any personal order. The reason for this is because they are written by different persons, both to and from Theodore. I felt it best to just put them in as much chronological order as possible regardless of who wrote the letter to whom.
