Correspondence with Edith Edwina Rand. 1910-1913.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/776165319

Weekly correspondence of Cornelia C. Church and S. F. French, of Pasadena, to Edith E. Rand, New York, niece and granddaughter. Each writes weekly giving advice about money, religion, building a house, and other matters and urging her to come for a visit. It appears that Rand also writes weekly, but her letters are not here. They seem to send personal and household items back and forth and have complicated interrelated finances. A few letters from both were unopened, but do not appear to have unusual news or advice. They are Christian Scientists and their advice to Rand reflects their beliefs. They both refer to Alice, another granddaughter, living and working with them. Rand works in New York; the nature is unclear. Both Church and Rand are Smith College Alumnae. There are no men in their lives, except for mention of Henry, French's brother. They mention local and national affairs and politics, including Women's right to vote in California in 1912.
