To Mrs. [Margaret?] Crofts,  [1936?] , Christmas card with picture of four cowboys or farmers, some sheep, and angels overhead ; UNL 

Doesn't like pictures like this, in the Grant Wood style, on Christmas cards, but bought them to help someone. Might think of the cowboy-looking shepherds as C.C.C. fellows [Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal initiative] and one of the angels above as President Roosevelt.   W. S. C.   [Stout #1346]

To unknown person [possibly Mr. and Mrs. George Whicher],  n.d. [1936?] , Christmas card ; PM 

Doesn't really care for Christmas cards in the Grant Wood style. Maybe they are C.C.C. boys with Roosevelt trumpeting in the sky. Such bad times!   Willa Cather   [Stout #1347]
