{"value"=>"<p>This series contains correspondence written by Margaret, diaries, and memorabilia from her life. The correspondence ranges from 1881-1947. In the earlier letters, Margaret writes, mostly to her brother George, about her travels with her father. She reports the goings on of the family to brothers who have left home. She also talks about politics and politicians, fashion, sometimes with sketches, her interest in art and music, and similar topics. She also tells of her regular education and extra courses she is taking such as music and art lessons. There is also a set of letters from Hilda Rose.</p> <p>After her father's death in 1908, Margaret moves from Japan to New York City, where she ends up living with her brother George. She writes to her family of everyday matters such as visits from friends and lunches with family. She also recounts memories of her parents which she says would not be found in their diaries. The memorabilia includes a certificate for \"Laying on of Hands at a Confirmation\", and several certificates from her nursing training.</p>"}
