About the Digital Collection
Personal correspondence of Martha Atwater of Sparta with nieces and nephews. Letters describe the relocation of two nephews, John and Charles DeVine, from Colorado to New Haven, Conn., following a failed business venture. They apparently struggled to find employment and their wives began teaching to supplement the family's income.
