This addition consists of a scrapbook, ca. 1916-1918, belonging to Amelia ("Amy") Leavitt Hill, documenting her trip to France and England. The scrapbook has been disassembled and the material separated into folders of letters, memorabilia, newspaper clippings, photographs, and postcards. Correspondence consists of telegrams and letters in English and French, some from French soldiers, regarding Hill's trip and describing their experiences in World War I. Other material relates to Hill's ocean voyage, her stay in Europe, and the progress of the war. There are also a few newspaper clippings from the post-war period.
