Grace Burke Hubble correspondence
Manuscripts
This small collection consists primarily of letters from Grace Burke Hubble to Ida Crotty. Grace writes about her travels throughout Europe, Edwin Powell Hubble's lectures, social life and daily activities such as fishing.

There is a letter dated August 4, 1949, after Hubble's heart attack in Colorado, where Grace thanks Ida for sending him French editions of Vogue, which he enjoys very much while recuperating.
