Olive Tilford Dargan letters to Rose Pastor Stokes, 1917-1931.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/479443880

Contains forty-one letters from Olive Tilford Dargan to Rose Pastor Stokes, two letters from Stokes to Dargan, a letter from the Tallahassee Power Company regarding the possibility of a reservoir covering some property owned by Dargan, and a telegram to Dargan from "John and Mary." Dargan's letters to Stokes (and Stoke's two letters to Dargan) are largely personal in nature, and indicate a close friendship. There is also some discussion of literary and political matters, while the letters from 1930-1931 are also concerned with Stoke's final illness - she died in 1933 of cancer in Germany, where she had sought treatment.
