Dear Kathy (Camp Lake Hubert),
Dorothy Bill says she is sending your birthday present here. I haven’t found any comic bandaids yet. Fern and I expect to go to Jean’s next Wed. for about a week. We love your letters.
Love, Va.

Works Progress Administration (WPA) circa 1939
Artist C Don Powell
Between 1935 and 1945 the WPA Federal Art Project printed over two million posters in 35,000 different designs to stir the public’s imagination for education, theater, health, safety, and travel. Due to their fragile nature only two thousand posters have survived. The National Park image shown here is also available in the original poster format from many National Park Bookstores.


South America – the spell of golden sunshine and Carnival nights is quickly yours by Empress flights.
