Letter from Edouard Potjes to his dear friends discussing his stay in Seattle, a trip he and his wife took to Belgium, a chronic illness, and the hotel where he is staying. The envelope is addressed to Mrs. L. F. Turney in Dallas, Texas, and is postmarked on April 23, 1926. The return address is for the Hotel Sorrento in Seattle, Washington.

Photograph of the interior of a small grocery store, with shelves of groceries on the right and left walls, and shorter display racks in the center of the room. At the back of the room is a glass-encased counter and some large refrigerator units against the back wall, one of which has a sign saying, "Ask for Metzger's Milk & Butter." At the front, just barely visible, is an L-shaped counter with piles of products on it. There are handwritten notes on the back about the name and location of the store, as well as the year it was taken.

Photograph of the exterior of a small, brick strip of storefronts with a rigid shop awning and a sign hung perpendicular to the building face, taken from across an empty street (which runs parallel to the shops). Desmond's Grocery, the larger store on the left, has two glass doors and three large glass windows, one of which has the shop name on it. The other store is W. G. Ray Dry Goods and Notions, which has one glass window with the name on it, and a glass door. There is another, shorter building, just barely visible to the left. There are handwritten notes on the front and back of the photo with information about the date, location, and photographer.

Photograph of a grocery store shelving unit (on the left, at an angle) with stacks of canned goods and other products, arranged in rows on the shelves, along the dark floor, and in tall pyramids on top of the shelves. The shelving unit is against a wall, and across from the wall are short displays with other assorted products. In the background, another, more basket-like storage and display rack stands against the wall, and beyond that is a glass-encased counter. The wall behind the counter is dark and has a shelf or two on it. There are handwritten notes on the back about the name and location of the store, as well as the year it was taken.

In the background are display tables with larger products and packages. Beyond those display racks is a large refrigerator unit with a sign that says "Milk & Butter." There are handwritten notes on the back about the name and location of the store, as well as the year it was taken.
