Mary E. Fisher letters to Mary Beach
Manuscripts
Four letters from Mary E. Fisher to her friend Mary Beach. The first three letters are written from Fisher's home in Huron, South Dakota, where she had just moved with her husband from the nearby smaller town of Cavour. She describes her delight at living in a larger community with a nicer house; local news such as elections, temperance movements, the local economy, crop failures, and the weather; and also family issues including the work of her husband and children and the traveling they had to do. She also relates her concern for the impoverished families of Huron, and her efforts to help with food and clothing donations for Christmas. Fisher's final letter in 1899 is from Minneapolis, where the family moved due to her husband's constant traveling to the area for his work.
