Jane Porter Candler papers concerning the Wilson family

Description

This collection primarily contains correspondence from Woodrow Wilson and various Wilson family members, including Ellen Axson Wilson and Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, to Jane Porter Candler. Also present are photographs, ephemera, clippings, and publications sent to or collected by Candler. Material dates from approximately 1890 to 1928. Letters mostly discuss family activities, health, and the aftermath of the death of Ellen Axson Wilson in August 1914. Woodrow Wilson's four letters to Candler are brief responses to letters from her. Some items in this collection are annotated, presumably by Jane Porter Candler.
