Index: no strict chronological order. Most letters are from the 1850s.

Correspondence: nearly all of these letters are from parents to mother superiors, Sisters or Fr. Haseltine and deal with the parents' daughters and their attendance at Nazareth. There are a few other letters from Rev. David Russell, Mother Columba, and Brother William and they could be considered friendly letters or about their family or school. The last sixty-five pages consist... of Mother Columba's Diary from 1839-1852.
