Dunham, Josephine, formerly Balestier, 1870-1939

Wolcott Balestier Dunham, Jr. of New York is a grandson of Josephine Balestier (1870-1939) whose sister Caroline Starr Balestier (1862-1939) in 1892 married Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), author. In 1997 he presented to the University of Sussex Library microfilm copies of about 150 letters written by and to members of his family between the 1880s and the 1930s. The donor's prefatory notes include biographical and genealogical notes about the Balestier and Dunham families.
