Helen Carhart Williams papers

The collection consists almost exclusively of incoming correspondence to Helen Carhart Williams from the time of her childhood until middle age. The letters were written by both male and female friends and describe their lives and activities as they attended high school and college, began their careers (several of the women were teachers), and in many cases got married and moved out of state (to Texas and Arizona, among others). Many of the letters contain congratulations to Helen on the occasions of her marriage and the births of her children. The letters also describe the activities of the Delta Iota Chi sorority.
