http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55636068

Collection (03-248) consists of correspondence primarily addressed to Amelia Young ("Mele") from family and close friends. Some letters are from Amelia to her sisters and mother, and a few of Amelia's children's juvenile letters are present. The correspondence, sometimes illustrated with pen-and-ink caricatures, provides insight into Amelia's teaching career, her extensive summer travels, and her domestic life. A wide swath of middle-class life, culture, work, and political interests of the time, particularly in the Newark, N.J., area, are represented. Acquired as part of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture.
