Correspondence, 1949-1988
- Scope and content:
-
On the first folder of this series, Mattie Russell noted, "In 1969 I decided to go through the small amount of personal correspondence I had saved and decide what I should like to have become part of a collection in the Manuscript Department of Perkins Library under the title, Mattie Underwood Russell Papers. To this correspondence, I added genealogy, miscellany, clippings, and printed material. My plan is to add to this file consistently during the remainder of my life."
