Abstract:

Correspondence, poetry, and scrapbooks kept by Wisconsin author Ella Giles Ruddy. Correspondence for 1887 contains letters from Clara Barton, Edward Everett Hale, Rutherford B. Hayes, and others addressed to Mrs. Ruddy's father, H. H. Giles, a member of the Wisconsin State Board of Charities and Reform; and a scrapbook of clippings, 1877-1886, relates to Mr. Giles' career in public welfare work. However, most of the letters were written to Mrs. Ruddy by other contemporaries in literature and the arts: Rasmus B. Anderson, Hjalmar H. Boyesen, Hiram Corson, Zona Gale, Charles Noble Gregory, Hattie Tyng Griswold, Vinnie Ream Hoxie, Aubertine Woodward Moore, Eben E. Rexford, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and Robert Wilson Burns. Original signed manuscripts of poems were written by Robert Wilson Burns, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Sarah D. Hobart, Minnie Stebbins Savage, and Mrs. Ruddy.
