I just started a new project and I hope that some of you are willing to help. I'm
trying to track down and get photocopies of letters written by Laura Ingalls
Wilder. Please read the press release below and pass it on to anybody you think may
be interested.
Thanks,

Seeking Laura Ingalls Wilder Letters and Photographs of Sites
During her lifetime as an author, Laura Ingalls Wilder responded to every fan
letter she received, until the last 6 months of her life. She saved the fan letters
she received and all are carefully preserved. Ironically, her responses were
scattered to the four winds and while some of come safely to rest in museums,
archives, and libraries across the country, others currently reside in scrapbooks,
the backs of drawers, in musty files, and in old shoe boxes tied up with ribbon and
carefully put away. As interest in Laura continues to grow, now is the time to
bring those letters to light.
Please help me make sure those letters aren't lost forever. In conjunction with the
Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Walnut Grove, Minnesota I'm seeking photocopies of
Laura letters. These would be scholarly study copies only and will be deposited in
the newly built archive room at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Walnut Grove,
Minnesota. We are also seeking photos of any of the Wilder museum sites pre-1985 or
photos of any special local Wilder events, such as gingerbread parties that you
might have attended. Thank-you for your help and please help to spread the word.
