Other correspondents, 1933-1949

Series III. consists of four letters, four photographs, and some notes by Charlotte Andrews Bauer, all pertaining to her and her family, dating from 1933 to 1949. The items in the first grouping concern trips that Bauer and her father's sister, "Aunt Charlotte," took to visit John Alden's summer home, "a pleasant old farm" called Bushy Crest. The farm was so named in honor of Alden's deceased wife Cynthia May Westover Alden (1862-1931), who was known as "Bushy." Included is a letter from John Alden to (Aunt) Charlotte Andrews in which he looked forward to her visit and discussed family news including Charlotte Andrews Bauers' recent marriage. Also included are several photographs of Charlotte Andrews Bauer and her new husband at the farm along with other family members and an autograph note by Bauers briefly describing the history of Bushy Crest. The second grouping comprises two letters dated 1942 from a lawyer, John D. Dwyer, seeking descendants of American free thinker and reformer Stephen Pearl Andrews (1812-1886) for the inheritance of property. The third grouping consists of two letters dated in 1949 from a researcher named Jean Burton who was interested in writing a biography and looking for materials on Stephen Pearl Andrews.
