{"value"=>"<p>The letters, 1941-1987, of Frederick \"Frecky\" Dalziel Vreeland's, the younger son of Reed and Diana Vreeland, span his years at the Groton School to his career in the Foreign Service. Vreeland's letters from the early 1940s were written from the Groton School in Massachusetts to his parents. Following Vreeland's graduation, he entered the US Merchant Marine Cadet Basic School, San Mateo, CA in September 1945. He wrote to his parents about his training and the local area. Vreeland also inquired about life at home, his brother in the Army, and stated his appreciation for the shipments of goods from home, especially the New Yorker and Life magazines. Other telegrams and letters were sent from ports of call in Central and South America from the \"T.V. Porter, \" the ship on which Vreeland served. Following his discharge, Vreeland wrote from Europe in 1949, telling of his travels, studies and his family life.</p>"}
