Robins family papers, 1803-1933.

The Robins family papers includes correspondence, letterpress books and letter books, diaries, notebooks, ledgers, business records, essays, poems, drawings, printed material and ephemera. This remarkable series of papers enables one to study the history of an American family and, on a more personal level, it allows one to study the family relationships which moulded Elizabeth Robins' character. Of particular interest in this series is a letter from Charles Dickens and two letters from Edgar Allen Poe, which Sarah Helen Whitman sent to Sarah Robins (see Subseries III).
