content: The collection includes 29 postage stamps from the Republic of Mali, (24) color postcards, (2) 8 x 10 inch black and white photogaphs, and (2) framed thank you letters to "Terri" (Ambassador Fred Hadsel). Two postcards (1970, 1972) are to Winifred Hadsel, two have notes describing the location/date (1972-1973), while the rest are blank. The postcards depict landscapes and people in Somalia, Mali, Ivory Coast, and Niger, among others. One of the thank you letters is from Prince Ermias and Gelila Sahle-Selanie (October 25, 1999). The second is from Richard Beresford and Timothy Holmes, thanking Ambassador Hadsel for his hospitality towards Prince Ermias and his family during their visit to Saratoga (September 19, 1999). One of the black and white photos is by Bob Puglisi and depicts Winifred Hadsel and actress Lynn Fontanne. The other is of Ambassador Hadsel and Mrs. Hadsel receiving a painting. A handwritten note on the verso reads: "Farewell to Accra".
