Incoming Correspondence of L.H. and Frances MacDaniels, 1916 - 1984
Scope and Contents
Contains incoming correspondence, arranged chronologically, of L.H. and Frances MacDaniels. Most letters in this series were written before 1930, and were almost exclusively from Laurence's mother Mrs. Ellen MacDaniels. Topics often reported by his mother were life in Oberlin, gardening, and trips to El Rosario, Mexico, as well as attempts to bring Frances and Laurence back to Oberlin. A small number of letters were received after 1945, and were almost all from childhood and college friends. Correspondents included Keyes Metcalf, Elmina Lucke, and Don King. An index is filed at the beginning of the series.
