The personal correspondence of Ruth Alexander Nichols consists of letters, 1911-34, sent and received between Nichols and her eventual first husband, Herman Nichols, Ida May Smith and Benjamin Johnson Alexander, her parents, and May Ellis Nichols and Louis Nichols, her parents-in-law. The letters primarily concern the daily lives of the family members, and include the courtship letters between Ruth Alexander and Herman Nichols, as well as those letters written during their long period of separation while affianced.
