Papers, 1862-1876.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23864105

Papers of Katharine D. Putnam, apparently compiled by Henry I. Bowditch after her death in 1875. The papers contain letters between Putnam and members of the Bowditch family, including Henry, his wife Olivia Y., and their son Edward. The letters concern the death during the Civil War of Nathaniel Bowditch, Putnam's fiance, their common grief, her relationship with the Bowditches as a second family, her illness, and death. Also included are letters from Putnam to the family from Europe in 1871, letters from Putnam to her friend Feroline Fox, primarily concerning the Civil War death of her brother (probably) Thomas B. Fox, and condolence letters to the Bowditches upon Putnam's death.
