Letters from Charles Collins to Harriet Collins (Jul. - Aug. 1853)

Dickinson College President Charles Collins writes five letters to his wife, Harriet Collins, while on a trip. Collins describes his travel experience as well as the various meetings he attended. Collins explains that "contrary to expectation when I first came, I have enjoyed myself very much" because of an increase of support from the congregation and preachers. In addition, Collins mentions that saw her brother at a conference, shares family news, and notes that he heard former Dickinson President John Price Durbin preach.  Transcripts included.
