Title: Frank Hunter Kennedy papers, 1789-1987 [manuscript].

Chiefly personal correspondence of Frank Hunter and Rita Kennedy with family members and friends. Most items from the period 1912-1916 are love letters to Frank Kennedy from young women attending the North Carolina State Normal and Industrial College in Greensboro, N.C. These letters provide some detail about student life in a women's college. Kennedy described his experiences at Harvard Law School in a letter of 21 November 1915. Most of the correspondence for the period 1919-1921 concerns Kennedy's law practice in Charlotte. Beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1970s, most items are personal letters to and from Rita Kennedy, chiefly from her son Philip. Correspondence from 1951 documents Philip's studies and activities in Paris, France. Also included are memorabilia and dance cards from the University of North Carolina, ca. 1913, and materials relating to Frank Kennedy's years as principal of the Lees-McRae Institute. Later additions include family correspondence from 1877 to 1983, Frank Hunter Kennedy's Harvard Law School notes, materials relating to Frank Kennedy's death in 1975, and his children's correspondence, Margaret Kennedy from 1948 to 1958 and Philip Kennedy from 1946 to 1987. There are also a few 18- and 19-century family papers.
