Bliss Family Papers 1850-1981 (bulk 1856-1922): Contents List

Typescript: Memoir of Mrs. Sarah L. Huntington Smith -- Beirut background material	1834-36	Box 1: folder C

Series 2: DANIEL BLISS
Arrangement: Divided into subseries as appropriate Scope and content: In general each series contains outgoing and incoming correspondence. Some contain printed material and general information about the individual. In some cases (notably the Lewis Affair, the untimely deaths of Gerald Fitzgerald Dale and three of the four Dale children, and the call to Howard to assume the Presidency of Syrian Protestant College in 1902), the same subject is discussed by more than one member of the family. Letters to "Dear Family" appear in most series, and were apparently passed (by mail if necessary) from one member to another; Howard's later letters sometimes specify the order in which they are to circulate. Other letters were "personal, but not confidential," or even "private," and there is an occasional note of apology added by someone who has opened another person's letter by mistake.

Series 4: ABBY WOOD BLISS
Arrangement: Divided into subseries as appropriate Scope and content: In general each series contains outgoing and incoming correspondence. Some contain printed material and general information about the individual. In some cases (notably the Lewis Affair, the untimely deaths of Gerald Fitzgerald Dale and three of the four Dale children, and the call to Howard to assume the Presidency of Syrian Protestant College in 1902), the same subject is discussed by more than one member of the family. Letters to "Dear Family" appear in most series, and were apparently passed (by mail if necessary) from one member to another; Howard's later letters sometimes specify the order in which they are to circulate. Other letters were "personal, but not confidential," or even "private," and there is an occasional note of apology added by someone who has opened another person's letter by mistake.
