Manuscripts
17 letters from Mary E. Copeland (1838-1898) in National City, San Diego, California, to her cousin H. Emma Bull in Harvard, Massachusetts. The letters begin in January 1870, when the Copeland family had recently moved from Harvard to the San Diego area. The letters focus on news relating to family and acquaintances both in San Diego and Harvard, and include references to Mary's interest in the Southern Pacific Railroad; the newspapers and magazines the family is reading; Mary's various illnesses; Mary's husband Fred Copeland (1833-1906) and his surveying work in Mexico; the Copeland children's education; the desire of Fred's sister to leave Shakerism; and the family's New-Churchmen religious beliefs. Also includes two letters from Mary to other members of the Bull family and one letter from Fred Copeland to "Brother Bull" (T.Bull).
