Frances Arnold (1874-1976) attended Bryn Mawr College from 1893 to 1895, affiliating herself with the class of 1897. Upon leaving the College, she attended French finishing school and traveled abroad. In 1899, she returned home to New York City to teach mathematics at the Brearley School. Except for a brief stint supervising women who assembled torpedoes during World War I, Arnold remained at Brearley until 1930. This collection includes a book of bound letters, 1893-1897, from Frances Arnold to her mother, father, cousin, and "Minge," an unknown correspondent who is presumed to be family. The letters detail her time at Bryn Mawr College, her experience at French finishing school, and her life traveling in Europe. There are a few incoming letters in this book, but the vast majority were composed by Arnold.
