Archivist Note

Materials arrived at the archives in a bundle. A packet from the North Manchester Public Library probably contained sympathy cards from the North Manchester Community - but these were mixed up with other letters of bereavement.  The archivist tried to "rethink" what might have belonged in the packet - but might have made mistakes. This entire  collection, although cards and letters might be unidentified according to source, shows the unconditional support  of the North Manchester community and educational institutions.

A sympathy card with the name of "Dave Good" is probably from individuals on the MU campus.
