This is a collection of personal and professional correspondence to and from Leverett S. Ropes. It appears that Ropes worked in the mining industry, possibly as a mining engineer, and traveled frequently. The majority of this correspondence is between Ropes and his wife and children. This personal correspondence offers a glimpse into the day-to-day life of an American family in the 1890s. Some of the professional correspondence is related to Ropes’ work in mining. There is one letter from the Michigan Mica Company asking Ropes to consider taking charge of their mines. Many of these letters come with their original postal covers with markings from various cities in Michigan, North Carolina, Montana, Tennessee, Colorado, Connecticut, and California. The majority of this correspondence dates between 1895 and 1901. This collection is made up of about 75 letters. Please see more details in our online catalog.
