Original group of handwritten 1919-1920 love letters and their envelopes, primarily written by Russell Lorenz (“Russ”) to Inez E. Mallery. This is a personal courtship correspondence with substantial handwritten content and numerous surviving postmarked envelopes.

Russell addresses Inez with affectionate salutations including “My Dearest Girl,” “My Sweetheart,” and “Dearest Inez.” His letters repeatedly discuss missing her, wanting to see her, thinking about her at night, arranging trips to visit her, and the difficulty of being separated.

Visible content includes:

• Russell writing that he thinks about Inez when he goes to sleep and dreams about her
• “Inez I want you more every single day”
• Discussion of traveling 25 miles to get a letter from her
• Plans for visiting and traveling between towns
• References to trains, hotels and railroad travel
• Russell's work and traveling for business
• Fishing and purchasing fishing tackle
• Automobiles and driving
• Weather and road conditions
• Daily work and social activities
• References to Fairmont, East Chain and other Minnesota locations
• A letter written on East Chain Garage & Implement Co., East Chain, Minnesota letterhead
• References to the East Chain Garage & Implement Co.
• Fairmont activities including Yankee Robinson and discussion of going to the event
• Letters written from Forest City, Iowa
• Letters from Swea City, Iowa
• A May 24, 1920 letter written from Mason City
• A May 28, 1920 letter written from Swea City, Iowa
• Inez addressed at Sharon Springs, New York
• Inez also addressed at Rudd, Iowa and Rockford, Iowa
• Numerous original envelopes retaining period U.S. postage stamps and postmarks
• Russell signs letters “Russ”

The group also contains additional family/personal correspondence visible in the photographs, including letters addressed to Mrs. S. A. Mallery and other correspondence dating to 1919. One separately visible letter is dated September 1, 1922 and is addressed to Inez; this should not be assumed to have been written by Russell Lorenz based solely on the material shown.

A particularly appealing original correspondence archive for collectors of love letters, courtship correspondence, Iowa and Minnesota history, New York genealogy, postal history, early automobile/travel history, and named-family archives.
