Scope and Content Note
The Clara H. Haraden papers are a collection of correspondence between members of the Haraden family. The majority of the correspondence is from Ann (Annie) Hammond to Clara. However, there is also a significant amount of correspondence to her other sisters and parents while she traveled through East Asia with her husband. At the end of the correspondence is a miscellaneous folder, which contains loose pages of correspondence without identifying information; also included in this folder is a calling card. This collection also contains a recipe book with handwritten recipes and news clippings; the book appears to have been someone's account book at one time, the first few pages displaying account records from 1846.
