Letters galore

There are many, many letters in this collection, and seeing how many of them are included in a small batch can be a little overwhelming. A modest 5-inch stack can yield well over 30 letters, and we have quite a few stacks. Even in this early stage of processing, I am already thinking ahead to how we will arrange the letters when are finished cleaning and flattening them. I don't have any particular arrangement in place yet, of course, I'm really just coming up with ideas and looking at how our other collections with a large letters component were arranged. Mat is working on a family tree for this collection, so we will also have that resource to guide us when we are making decisions about the arrangement. I'm sure Mat will discuss his work on the family tree in another post.
