Scope and Contents
From the Sub-Series:
This sub-series is arranged chronologically. Many of Phoebe’s letters were not dated by month and year. These letters have been arranged in undated folders and letters with similar topics or noted time periods have been placed together when possible. The bulk of the letters were written during the 1860’s when Eben spent a considerable amount of time away from home. The transition from sister-in-law to wife, family illnesses, Cambridge society, Shelter Island society and Horsford’s resignation from Harvard are among the subjects of note in this correspondence.
