Material in this series has been maintained in its provenance and constitutes xerox copies of original correspondence and manuscripts still held by members of the Hopkins family or deposited elsewhere. In the latter case, material is accompanied by typewritten notes by RH indicating provenance and current repository. (Box 6, Folders 8-31) Material is arranged alphabetically by folder title with organization basically reflecting that of the bulk of this collection.
Please note that correspondents often mention acquaintances or other individuals but will not provide their complete names. When known, the full name is given in parentheses. Also, in the case of the Clarke family, one A.K. Clark signs her name without the 'e' although it is likely that she is a member of the Clarke family. She also cites (her husband?) inconsistently as 'Mr. Clark' or 'Mr. Clarke.' Descriptions for each letter will use the spelling that the correspondent has used.
