Title: Letter to Mary Sweetser Stevens Dodge, 1885 May 13

Type: Correspondence and communication

Description: Handwritten letter to Mary "Mollie" Sweetser Stevens Dodge (1867-1944) from an unknown author regarding her eighteenth birthday. The writer explains that they wish they could purchase a gift for Dodge's birthday, but "the times are hard and I only send you some flowers to show you that I hold your birth day in loving memory." The letter is written on stationary from Henry James Stevens' (1837-1891) workplace, the Offices of Stevens and Durant, Counsellors [sic] at Law. Dodge was one of Helen Stevens Coolidge's (1876-1962) older sisters. 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.
