The collection consists of letters from a single male correspondent to Dennice DuRay, c/o A. Spire, 8336 East 2nd Street, Downey, CA, in late 1951; and from five male correspondents to Gladys L. Ragan, 8336 E. 2nd Street (1956: 10727 1/2 Western, Downey, and 1958: 10831 1/4 Brookshore, Downey), from early 1955 to late 1958, by five male correspondents. The correspondences appear to have been initiated by DuRay and Ragan in response to advertisements placed in the personals sections of Los Angeles newspapers, including the Mirror. Information in the letters and the fact that both women lived at the same address and never met their correspondents face-to-face, suggests that DuRay and Ragan were less than truthful to their correspondents, and may have been impostors, possibly even the same individual. The letters contain substantial discussion of sex, including homosexual acts, although the orientation of the men was predominantly heterosexual. The collection includes summary notes on each letter made by the processing archivist.
