Letter from Barbara Halpern to Nettie and Carl Halpern
Description:
Letter from Barbara Halpern to Joel M. Halpern's parents during time spent in Laos with the United States Operations Mission. This letter describes the entertaining the Halperns have done, and the parties they have gone to. Barbara also writes of an excursion she and the housekeeper, Le, went on to Ban Penom, a village near Luang Prabang, known for its weaving. Hearing the sound of an airplane, the women later came to the Halperns' doorstep in order to sell their wares to the visiting foreigners.
