This handwritten page, part of a family letter from J. A. Wagener dated 7 September 1919, offers a candid glimpse into everyday American life just after the end of World War I. Written to his family, the letter recounts a late-night drive home from Oakland, work on the family's fig crop, the household's egg-laying hens, and small-town social life, illustrating the return to ordinary domestic routines in the immediate postwar period.
