Summary: Volume 5 [formerly Volume 97]:
The date range is uncertain but it appears to be 1936 to 1948.  This volume contains postcards and ephemera from holiday trips to Mount Vernon and other locations in Virginia; plus Vermont and Rhode Island; Toronto and Quebec; Valley Forge and Harrisburg; Geneva, NY, Rockford, IL, and Harper’s Ferry, WV; Washington, DC; and other locations.  As is the case with Volume 65, there are no photos of trains or train lines.  Also, while some items are from trips Foreman took himself, other items were sent to him by friends and colleagues, primarily Carrie Virginia Pryott née Hankins.  Finally, in one annotation Foreman states “Many pictures of Harper’s Ferry may be found in biography of George Albright Foreman #70.”  It is unclear what “biography” he is referring to.

Names listed:
Pryott, Carrie Virginia; Appleman, Alice Gertrude; Russell, Thomas; Moyer, Annie E.

Places listed:
Winchester, VA; Harper's Ferry; Washington DC; Virginia Beach; Williamsburg, VA; Natural Bridge, VA; Valley Forge; Toronto; Indianapolis, IN; Shenandoah National Park; Harrisburg, PA; Geneva, NY; Rockford, IL; Port Jervis, NY; Portsmouth, VA; Quebec.
