The Louise Myrth Ireland-Frey Correspondence contains letters to family written as a graduate student and teaching assistant in the Zoology Department at Mount Holyoke College. The letters include detailed personality descriptions of Ireland-Frey's fellow teaching assistants and teaching mentors, particularly Ann Haven Morgan and Christianna Smith. Ireland-Frey also comments on her teaching responsibilities and social activities with her colleagues including campus events, lectures, and local outings as well as her research in zoology and histology. Ireland-Frey also notes the stereotypes and lifestyles of New Englanders compared to Westerners and her resulting homesickness for the West.
