This image displays a vintage, light blue memorandum slip dated February 14, 1961.

The memo is addressed:

• To: Louisa Sprague
• From: Agnes Morgan

The typed body of the memo asks:

Do you keep a scrapbook of photographs with Fogg people in them? (e.g. openings, Xmas parties, etc.) If so, would you please put this photograph of Anna in it?

Below the typed text, there is a handwritten note in cursive ink, likely also from Agnes Morgan, which reads:

Mrs. Morgan requested this be taken because of Anna's Roman nose - like ours -

The memo appears to be typed on a standard, lined memo form and has been torn from a pad, as evidenced by the rough, uneven edge at the bottom. The handwritten note adds a personal, lighthearted touch, referencing a family trait (a “Roman nose”) shared between Anna and the Morgans.

This document captures a small, intimate moment of personal correspondence regarding family photos and memory-keeping within a social or institutional circle referred to as “Fogg people,” possibly connected to the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, given the names and context.

The image is a memorandum dated February 14, 1961. It is addressed to "Louisa Sprague" and is from "Agnes Mongan." The memorandum asks Louisa Sprague if she keeps a scrapbook of photographs featuring "Fogg people" (presumably referring to individuals associated with a place or institution called Fogg, which could be a school, organization, or group) and, if so, to include a photograph of Anna in it. There is a handwritten note at the bottom that reads: "Mrs. Mongan requested this be taken because of Anna's romance now — like our way —"

This image shows a typed memorandum on a light blue sheet of paper. The memorandum is dated February 14, 1961, and is addressed to Louisa Sprague from Agnes Mongan. The content of the memo asks if Louisa keeps a scrapbook of photographs featuring "Fogg people" in various events such as openings and Christmas parties. It requests that a photograph of Anna be included in the scrapbook if such a collection exists.

At the bottom of the memo, there is a handwritten note that adds additional context. The note says, "Miss Mongan requested this be taken because of Anna's Roman nose - like ours -". This suggests that the photograph was taken specifically because Anna had a Roman nose, which was similar to the noses of the people mentioned in the note.
