Original Donation Letters 1951-1952

The camp property was purchased using money from the Universalist Society but to repay the purchase a Replacement Fund drive was started and these letters are the donations pouring in. I dollar in 1952 would be worth $12.23 in 2025 - so a $40 donation then would be the same as $500 donation in 2025
