Kelly, Rev. Laurence J., SJ: Correspondence, 1954., 01/13/1954-12/29/1954
Series-level Scope and Content Note
Includes one box of notebooks that Kelly kept while at Frederick, at Woodstock, and in between at Loyola. The period is generally 1889-1910 for the notebooks. The correspondence extends from his letter of appointment in 1887 until a few days before his death. Most were letters received, but there are a few copies of letters he sent. There are a few snapshots and photos of him and perhaps his family. The final half-box contains a few three-dimensional mementos--beads, medals, and small framed pictures of a sentimental type.
