Correspondence, reports, and photos of Maimie. The bulk of the collection is letters from Maimie to Fanny (Quincy) Howe about Maimie's past, her marriages, her training and work as a stenographer, her efforts to establish and maintain the Montreal Mission for Friendless Girls, the individual girls, how they came to the Home, their problems and feelings, and their adjustment to life at the Home. Maimie and Howe were introduced by a Philadelphia social worker. Howe's letters to Maimie have evidently not survived.
