[Citizen's Post War Planning Committee business envelope]

Description

The envelope includes the names of several members of the Owsley family. Written on the front of the envelope: "Dr. [Louisa] Owsley, mother of A. C. Owsley, Sr., Grandmother Clark, Lou, Stella, Eunice, Henry, Charlotte, [and] Alvin." The stationery envelope is printed with "Citizen's Post War Planning Committee of Denton, Texas" which was organized after World War II. We believe the envelope held two photographs of Dr. Louisa Owsley which also belong in the library's collection as the note on the front corresponds with the information found with the photographs.
