This document is a copy of a one page undated hand written letter that Gladys Hungerford (US130c) sent to Stan Hungerford (SH1310). It is accompanied by eight pages detailing names, dates of birth and marriage, and other information about her siblings and their families. It was enclosed in an envelope postmarked 9 Sep 1975 which we presume is the date of the letter.
Note: This entry in the Library for this document originally had the following description:

Charlie Morgan (US8890) wrote to Richard Hungerford, Jr. (US26) to this effect:
I am working on a letter from Gladys Hungerford to Stan that is dated 11 Apr 1976 and while reviewing letters from her in the Library that you had done, I came across an oddity. The oddity is that it says (correctly) that "This document is a copy of two hand written letters sent in an envelope postmarked 9 Sep 1975, one undated and the second dated 5 Nov 1975 ...." I checked the documents and, sure enough, that statement is absolutely correct.
But, how could a letter dated 5 Nov 1975 be enclosed in an envelope postmarked nearly two months before on 9 Sep 1975. It seems we owe the reader an explanation, or at least a comment acknowledging the oddity, don't you think?
Richard responded as follows:
When I got the letters they were bunched together in a haphazard manner. He later mailed me a second batch of letters in the same jumbled condition. I think Stanley may have stuck one in the other as a quasi attempt to keep a minimal level of organization by keeping them together only to lead to this mystery.
The letter dated 5 Nov 1975 now is a separate entry here in the Library.
