This series chiefly consists of letters that Currier wrote to her parents from 1928-1938. The letters that she wrote as a student at Mount Holyoke College, 1928-1931, are filled with information about her academic program. She discusses her course work, teachers, and examinations. She also describes her work in the College library as well as her musical activities. Letters from August 31, 1931-June 1934 describe her work in the Yale University library and her social life in New Haven, Connecticut. Letters from September 1934-June 1935 concern her graduate studies in Library Science at the University of Michigan. Letters written from summer 1935-1936 describe trips in the United States to Colorado, Maine, and elsewhere. Currier's correspondence also details her return to work at the Yale University library, 1936-1938. Her letters include a number of references to the impact of the Depression upon the library profession. The collection also includes three letters to Currier from Mount Holyoke classmates Florence Feicht Boyer and Shuh-yin Lu Mar. Boyer discusses her trip to England, Scotland, and Ireland in a letter dated October 7, 1937. The lengthy letter describes the towns and sights she saw as well as the voyage to England. Mar's first letter, dated May 3, 1938, was written from Hankow, China, and discusses personal news as well as the effects of the war between China and Japan (the Sino-Japanese Conflict). Mar's second letter, probably dated August 19, 1938, describes her trip to Hong Kong to escape the fighting.
