This collection gives insight to the life of a wealthy Vermont family in the late nineteenth century as they go about educating a family, finding suitable mates, and leading a very active social life, both at home and abroad. Business enterprises of various members of the family spanned the continent between Vermont and the state of Washington, involving banking, the Rutland Railroad, real estate, farming, and the plywood industry. Family members remained in close contact with each other, even as they moved physically apart. Correspondence from friends and acquaintances from England and France during World War I includes details about war atrocities and the difficulties that affected residents if those countries. The collection also contains correspondence with Mary Cochran, known as Mary Cork, the family's longtime domestic servant. The family had a warm and close relationship with Mary Cork, who was at the bedside of Wallace Clement when he died in 1923 at the age of eighty-six.
