Alma Slagel Eigsti "adopted" a Russian Mennonite refugee named Margareta Unruh through her Sunday school class at Waldo Mennonite Church in Illinois. Unruh and her family were forced to flee Russia in 1943, first staying in Holland and later immigrating to Paraguay. Eigsti and Unruh corresponded with each other from 1946-1981. In this collection are the letters that Eigsti received from Unruh. The letters describe Unruh's domestic life and her personal needs. There is also a small amount of correspondence from Tina Boschmann.

This fonds consists of 3 volumes of letters translated into English depicting life in Russia and the Soviet Union 1925-1978. In 1925 Anna Reimer's daughter, Katherina Enns and her husband Wilhelm Enns immigrated to Canada along with Anna's son's family, Johann and Kaethe Reimer. Anna and her other children remained in Russia, hoping also to move later but could not do so. This fonds consists of the letters the family members in Canada received, documenting the situation in the Soviet Union. The letters were translated by Katherina and Wilhelm Enns' children Con Enns and Elizabeth Enns, her husband Edward Enns and daughter Ruth Enns. "Katherina Enns and Johann Reimer left behind in Russia their sisters Anna Epp, Mariechen Reimer, Margareta Enns, Susanna Reimer, Elisabeth Teichroeb, and a brother Dietrich Reimer and their mother Anna (Peters) Riemer."
