Clara Bradley Burdette letters to Roy B. Wheeler
Manuscripts
A collection of letters, telegrams, postcards, printed material, and clippings. The main part of the collection consists of letters from Clara Bradley Burdette to her son Roy B. Wheeler from the time he went away to boarding school in 1895 until his early death in 1923. After Roy's marriage in 1911, many of the letters are addressed to "Dear Children" and those that are addressed to him are often business-related as he oversaw much of Clara's business affairs while she traveled. The collection also contains letters from Robert Jones Burdette to Roy from 1898 until Burdette's death in 1914; and a small number of letters from friends and business associates addressed to Clara B. Burdette as well as Roy B. Wheeler. There is one manuscript, notes for a talk given by Clara B. Burdette, "Missions -- Cui Bono?" (1880). Clara traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico for business and pleasure and many of the letters are written during these travels; the letters describe her work, the meetings she attended, and the people she met, as well as describing the locations she visited. In 1910, she traveled with her husband to the Territory of Hawaii, Japan, and China; the journey lasted four months and she wrote long, detailed letters of her impressions of the places they visited.
