http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261233673

Collection consists of letters written to Mrs. Langford from Shakers at New Lebanon and items from her literary career. Shaker correspondents were Frederick W. Evans, Alonzo Giles Hollister, Antoinette Doolittle, Daniel Offord, M. Catherine Allen, Sadie and Emma Neale, and Anna White. It is with the last named that Mrs. Langford corresponded most frequently and for the longest length of time. Twenty-nine letters from Daniel Offord to Mrs. Langford dating from June 28, 1906 to December 15, 1910, concern her purchase and operation of the New Canaan farm. Other items include scrapbooks covering her literary career, handwritten articles that were presumably later published, photographs, and an elaborate membership certificate in the Theosophical Society.
