The collection consists of correspondence between Ruth Parsons Baker, superintendent of the Wisconsin division, and her father, the Reverend James Parsons, and her uncle, the Reverend Charles Parsons, both of whom were at one time head of the national organization. Also included are administrative files and individual case files.
