Correspondence with family, 1891-1895

http://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990082446990203941/catalog

Consists primarily of letters written by Frothingham to his parents while he was a student in Harvard College. The nearly daily missives include his comments on professors and courses, social and dormitory life, and vacation travel, primarily to New Hampshire and Maine. His participation in the Harvard Camera Club, Pierian Sodality, Hasty Pudding Club, and the Crimson newspaper are reflected in the correspondence. The collection also includes four photographs, possibly taken and developed by Frothingham; two depict Harvard Yard and two depict Frothingham with friends.
