This collection contains both typed and handwritten letters from Horace Albright in Van Nuys, California to Mary Sue Hale (nee Cooper) in Maryville, Tennessee. Also included are the Albrights’ annual Christmas letters sent out to their friends and family from various years between 1972 to 1987. The materials range from 1965 to 1987. In his correspondence Horace writes about his health, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the night in which the Cooper family provided shelter and food to him in the Great Smoky Mountains. There is one photograph from July 1985; although the subjects are not identified, it is most likely a picture of Horace and two of the Cooper daughters, Edith and Odell, in California. An undated map in the collection depicts the United States with a path across the country marking certain cities and national parks.
