Letters, 1850-1890.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261233721

A group of letters, most of which are addressed to Elizabeth Julia Schlatter Chandler or to her husband Theophilus Parsons Chandler. The letters are from a number of different relatives and friends and discuss many topics, but there is no long run of correspondence with any one person. Also included is a small group of letters written by Theophilus Chandler, Jr., who was an architect in Philadelphia. He mostly writes about social events (weddings, going to the park), but also mentions office work. His sister Alice visited him in October 1882, and her letters to their parents discuss her brother's work. In one letter, she even sketched part of a Methodist church on which he was working. As well, the collection includes some business letters to Alfred Chandler, mostly concerning some project to take place on Mt. Desert Island, Maine.
