Letter from Mary Elizabeth Garrett to M. Carey Thomas, 1888
Description:
Mary Garrett writes to M. Carey Thomas from Berlin, another stop on her extensive trip.

Emily Howland letter to Hannah Letchworth Howland
Title:
Emily Howland letter to Hannah Letchworth Howland
Description:
Addressed to her sister-in-law. Thanks for the papers reporting the suffrage meeting in Buffalo and glad that Hannah went. Emily notes that her name is on the committee and muses that she should be there instead of sauntering around Europe; will try to make up for lost time when she returns. Is concerned about her house if Sarah (probably Sarah Jacobs) leaves. Is very concerned that young boarders without supervision would be disastrous. Emily is inclined to stay in Europe all winter because cholera has kept her from doing some of what she wished to do and she does not expect to return. Wanted to go to Munich (instead of Vienna) because she had read a book by a daughter of William and Mary Howitt entitled "Art Student in Munich."

Emily Howland letter to Sarah Jacobs
Description:
If Sarah decides to leave Sherwood (as it is very lonely there alone) then the house can be closed and the plants and cat cared for elsewhere. Howland and her companions travelled from Cologne to Berlin five days ago, then visited Potsdam and the Sanssouci palace. Enjoyed the grotto hall with its shell decoration. Wishes she had more knowledge of German history. Also stopped at the Charlottenhof.
