Scope and content
This small series contains her Letters from Africa that she wrote to her parents and her sister while living in the Kalahari Desert. These were bound in an embossed book that has been kept with the papers. The letters themselves have been placed in folders and arrange chronologically. They give a very personal and detailed view of life among the !Kung San as an anthropologist doing research in the late 1960s. Among some of the details, the letters describe daily camp life, her interaction with the !Kung San people and the other anthropologists and how she and Richard Lee conducted research.
