Description: Handwritten letter to Mary "Mollie" Sweetser Stevens Dodge (1867-1944) from her father, Henry James Stevens (1837-1891). The letter begins, "My dear child," and goes on to ask Dodge to dine with "Mrs. Summers." The letter is written on stationary from the Revere House in Boston, Massachusetts. Stevens had five daughters, including Dodge and Helen Stevens Coolidge (1876-1962). In 1914 Coolidge began transforming Ashdale Farm, which had been in her family since 1729, from a working farm into an elegant agricultural estate that exemplified the gracious country living enjoyed then by wealthy Bostonians.
