scopecontent: Scope and Contents of the Collection The Mary E. Augur Dudley Papers consist of correspondence, writings, memorabilia, a biographical note, an obituary, and photographs, primarily portraying the activities of Augur family members in Connecticut between 1859-1895. Correspondence is chronologically arranged and separated into two groups: first, correspondence from family members and friends, followed by letters from Mount Holyoke Female Seminary graduate Susan E. Anderson. Family letters provide a detailed portrayal of the demands of farm life in Middlefield, Connecticut, report on the activities of family members, and document many aspects of social and religious life in Connecticut during that period. Most of the letters were written to Dudley by members of her family: her father Phineas M. Augur, her mother Lucy Elizabeth Parmelee Augur, her sister Lucy Augur Dudley, her brother Edwin Augur and his wife, Susan B. Augur, younger brothers Charles P. Augur and Alfred Augur, and their respective wife, Ida and Anna Augur. The letters reflect Dudley's homesickness while she was a student at Mount Holyoke, 1869-1871, and her family's concerns for her health. Letters that Dudley's father wrote to her offer encouragement and affection; he also sent her small sums of money on occasion. Other letters concern teaching activities of both Dudley and her sister Lucy and the latter's concerns over farm work, marriage, and illnesses and deaths in the community. Several of Charles Augur's letters from 1875 describe his experiences as a student at Massachusetts Agricultural College in Amherst, Massachusetts, and letters that his wife, Anna, wrote in 1886 refer to temperance work in Connecticut. There are also letters from a cousin, George Augur, written as a student at Union College in Schenectady, New York and dating from June 1873-April 1874. He discusses examinations and recitations, concerts given by students, an outbreak of illness at the school, and (in a letter dated June 18, …
