Summary Mainly Catherwood's outgoing correspondence, and manuscript and published works, 1874-1902. Also a few incoming letters, diaries, notebooks, notes for stories, clippings, photographs, and some later miscellaneous material relating to her life and career. Catherwood's letters are mainly written to her aunt, Harriet H. DeVault, to a friend, Eleanor Ruthrauff, and to her husband, James Steele Catherwood. Her incoming correspondence includes two original letters from Sir John George Bourinot and Otis Skinner, and copies of letters from James Whitcomb Riley and Eugene Field. The three notebooks contain jottings, ideas for writing and miscellaneous notes. There is also a small diary kept on an 1891 ocean voyage, some recipes, photographs of Catherwood (ca. 1902) and Otis Skinner (1902), and a copy of a Thomas Nast drawing.
