The Pat Feiser Letters, 1955

[Letter Envelope]

History

These letters were sent to Pat Feiser while she was a student at Mount Holyoke. Her most frequent correspondents were her parents John Bernhardt Feiser and Frances E. (Fry) Feiser, and maternal grandmother, Mrs Charles B. Fry (Daisy). In February 1955, Daisy has surgery for breast cancer, and some of the letters around that time period discuss it. Pat's mother enjoyed art and ceramics. Pat shared an interest in photography with her father, and an interest in theatre with her high school and college friends. I believe her friend Jane Thornton was a student at Columbia University, but it might be Barnard College. Doorthe is also referred to as "the witch" by several of Pat's friends. She is 14 years older than Pat, married to Mason "Mase" Gerhart and raising two sons. According to her 1999 obituary, she was a teacher in the York school system and active in the York Little Theater, so it's likely that Pat knew her through school or the theater. Phil Sievers might be Pat's high school boyfriend. Pat seems to be losing interest in staying in touch with him, but he continues to write to her despite not hearing from her very often. Pat seems more interested in Donald Johnson at Amherst College.
