Letters written by Clark from Manchester, N.H., and Lowell and Lawrence, Mass., to various friends and family members.

The letters from Manchester specifically mention the Amoskeag Machine Shop. Clark touches on a variety of related topics, including working and living conditions, wages, rural and family life, illness and job changes.
