Family correspondence
Manuscripts
The family correspondence includes letters from Jeannette G. W. Kelsey, her husband Albert Warren Kelsey, their eight children, parents, children's spouses, grandchildren, various aunts, uncles, and cousins. In some cases, there are letters from four generations of the family. As was typical of 19th century families the same names were used for each generation so there are at least four Alberts and multiple Charlottes; the family often used nicknames to distinguish the various family members. A family tree of the immediate Kelsey family has been attached to this finding aid to help with identification of the family members. The letters cover family events, such as births, marriages, deaths, illnesses, conflicts, travels, and celebrations. There are no letters from Jeannette G. W. Kelsey's parents, Cadwallader C. Washburn and Jeannette Garr Washburn, though there are two letters regarding the asylum care of Jeannette Garr Washburn.
