Family correspondence of Marion Coleman., Mid 19th century, undated.

 Sub-Series
Identifier: MSS.15071-15085
Scope and Contents

Marion Coleman wrote regularly to her family, apparently at least once a week, chiefly to her sister (Helen) Agnes, as often in French as in English, and her letters were probably intended as an open journal recording her activities. The letters are unsigned and almost all were undated and unaddressed. In consequence, the order in which they are arranged, which is almost entirely that in which they were received, is certain to be incorrect in many places.
