Original handwritten letter signed by Clair Tuttle-Yerance, daughter of noted Spiritualist authors Hudson Tuttle and Emma Rood Tuttle of Berlin Heights, Ohio. Dated Jan 29, 1940, the letter is associated with the family’s home, referred to as “The Little Farm.”
The letter discusses the Tuttle family and their published work, with additional handwritten notes providing historical details about people and life in the Berlin Heights area. The group also includes an addressed envelope, a vintage photograph showing a horse hauling logs through the snow, and a decorative illustrated bookmark.
An interesting collection of early 20th-century Ohio family and local-history ephemera, with a particularly appealing connection to the Tuttle family’s literary and Spiritualist history. Clair Tuttle-Yerance’s handwritten signature makes the letter especially noteworthy for collectors of historical correspondence, Ohio history, Spiritualism, and literary families.
