Scope and Contents

A two year break in the correspondence between McDougall and his mother ends in 1935, but there are only a few letters from 1935, 1937 and 1938. These are concerned with family and personal events written while McDougall was traveling as a reporter for the Salt Lake Telegram.Another eight-year hiatus is the result of McDougall's work as a newspaper correspondent in the Orient and his time spent in a Japanese internment camp in Sumatra. When the correspondence resumes in 1946 there are again no letters from McDougall. This letter correspondence, from 1946 to 1951, is concerned with McDougall's future plans, his study to become a priest, the publication of his books, and, as always, family events.
