Title: Letter to Mary Sweetser Stevens Dodge from Henry James Stevens

Type: Correspondence and communication

Description: Handwritten letter to Mary "Mollie" Sweetser Stevens Dodge (1867-1944) from her father, Henry James Stevens (1837-1891). He tells Dodge how much everyone misses her and shares family news and well wishes. The letter is written on stationary from Stevens' workplace, the Office of Stevens and Durant Counsellors [sic] at Law. 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.
