Laura Hope: "Letters from my sisters", 1891 January-1893 December
Scope and Contents
Box 7/Folder 2 Letter date-stamped "7/13/1891" appears to contain at least 3 letters with various dates, the earliest being "6/12/1891"; 7/23/1891 letter contains a postcard; Box 7/Folder 3 8/30/1891 letter to LH couldn't be reopened, so the letter is still sealed inside the envelope. Box 7/Folder 6 8/27/1892 letter includes a telegram sent from Violet Troubridge ("Vi,""VT" henceforth) to LH; Box 7/Folder 7 10/14/1892 letter includes a handwritten excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Compensation"; Box 7/Folder 8 Beginning with 1/?/1893 letters are no longer in envelopes with date stamps; thus, dates are much harder to determine; in some cases, the previous archivist has penciled in approximate dates in the margins of the letter; some letters are dated, most aren't.
