  • to “Messico. ”I had as grand a time going through those packages as though it had been Christmas. Daddy, those glass paper weights are the nicest I about ever saw. I have them in front of me now. The green one on the right & that perfectly beautiful purple one on the left. And the pyjamas! They are certainly the product of Haloween. And the candy, & the soap, and the pencil sharpener, and the knife! My voice just gets higher & higher on each one. That snack is a life-saver.

  • In a letter to her family on October 12, 1935, Josephina Niggli describes her school workload from the past week. She mentions her several rehearsals for the various productions she is involved with, and for some of which Niggli experiences difficulties in memorizing certain lines. Niggli mentions a play of hers being put on tour along with two others, which she had to hastily finish writing. Due to this busy schedule Niggli was forced to decline certain roles in other productions, and has been slow to respond to her family's letters, for which she apologizes. Niggli also mentions her excitement for a package from her family, which contained a blouse made by her grandmother, some glass paper weights from her father, as well as pajamas, candy, soap, a pencil sharpener, and a knife. Lastly Niggli mentions that one of her plays is up for review with the board of directors and that she's been appointed a judge at a play competition sponsored by the Federation of Music.
