The papers contain three pages from various untitled manuscripts by Preston including one co-signed by her niece Louise Preston Dodge; a manuscript essay on Boethius's "Consolation of Philosophy"; and correspondence. Letters to a Miss Coleman and Alice Baker provide glimpses of friendships Preston developed in Keene, N.H., and praise Baker for her work on the Civil War. A letter to William Hayes Ward indicates she will submit a piece for publication.
