    Manuscripts

    This collection primarily consists of correspondence to and from Alice Stone Blackwell, Mary Elizabeth Hagar Atwood, and Anna Louise Hagar. There are approximately 128 letters from Alice Stone Blackwell to Mary Elizabeth Hagar Atwood. There are also dozens of poems (sent for children or to celebrate their arrival) and manuscripts by Alice Stone Blackwell. Also included are approximately 182 letters from Mary Elizabeth Hagar Atwood's sister, Anna Louise Hagar, where she writes primarily from the West Coast. There are two letters from Lucy Stone to Anna Louise Hagar. In one letter, Stone hopes the Hagar sisters "...had pleasure out of the books. My daughter [Alice Stone Blackwell] when she was your age used to have great fun with the Huggermuggers. She knew it was all 'make believe' but she liked it all the same" (May 16, 1890). There are 6 letters from Henry Browne Blackwell to Mary Elizabeth Hagar Atwood. In one letter dated October 5, 1898, Blackwell writes Atwood a short poem, which reads: "Beautiful Beth! We love her to death; She can swim; she can dive; And she knows how to count five!" In another letter he ends with an exhortation "Don't run away, and avoid Saloons" (July 10, 1905). An item of interest is Elizabeth Blackwell's medical notebook, Box 7 (8). Topics such as air, diseases, food, and temperament are discussed. The notebook appears to be incomplete. There are approximately 65 photographs, many are family snapshots (individual and gatherings), but more are studio portraits (often cabinet cards). Ephemeral items include buttons, greeting cards, newspaper clippings, periodicals and programs. The bulk of the periodicals consist of the magazine: The Youth's Companion from 1885 through 1924. The two oversize folders consist of additional newspaper clippings. Lastly, there are two oversize folders consisting of additional newspaper clippings.
