Three generations of family correspondence. The majority of these letters were written by the Cook family of Riley Township, Clinton County, Michigan between 1841-1913. After the death of Maud Randall Cutler in 1956, these letters came into the possession of Faye E. Hanson. Faye Hanson added letters in the possesion of Mrs. Cutler's son, Neil, as well as those in the possession of her nephew, Gerald Pike. Ken Coin later helped transcribe and edit this collection in 1981.
