Correspondence: K. Wright to H. J. Haskell, 1926 April 9-1926 April 13

The material consists mainly of correspondence from Katharine Wright to Henry J. Haskell. In the beginning, the correspondence was infrequent, but as the friendship grew into a romance, Katharine Wright wrote daily and sometimes three and four letters per day. Consequently, the later folders will include many letters. Also included are letters to Mr. Haskell from other friends, correspondence between Henry C. Haskell and a researcher in the 1970’s, articles, clippings and photographs.

There are six folders of letters (f. 41-46) which were undated by Miss Wright. Attempts were made to date these letters and when possible, tentatively dates have been marked at the top, and they have been placed in the appropriate folder. However, all dates are not verified and can be used only as reference by the researcher. The rest of the undated letters have been left in the order in which they were received from the Haskell family and have been numbered in sequence. It can be noted that most of the undated letters seem to have been written after the bulk of the dated correspondence, and therefore have been placed behind them in the folder order. The numbering system at the top of the dated letters is as follows: Date of letter; sequential number of letter written on that date; page number; side of page. Example: 3 September 1924 1/2B . . . The second side of the second page of the first letter written on September 3, 1925.
