Scope and content

This series is almost entirely made up of letters of condolence to the Ham Family at the death of Jane Ham, a daughter who was tragically killed by a truck on her way to school. A note written by Mary Ham describing the event and her daughter’s special needs, can be found in a file preceding the correspondence. There are few other items of a personal nature including a letter by Mary Ham to her husband during an Easter holiday at the cottage in 1985 as well as correspondence with the Ham’s Chinese friend Xiansheng Li. There is the odd piece of correspondence with friends from the 1960s and matters relating to the Ham’s Boathouse (1955).
