Description | Personal letters exchanged by Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst. Letters in 1920 and 1921 are written mostly by Leonard Elmhirst. Leonard discusses life at Cornell University mentioning campus politics, professors, the fraternity system, and the Cosmopolitan Club of which he is president. Letters in Dec 1920 mention Tagore for the first time, and Harriet Moody of Chicago. Letters tend to wander, covering many subjects. Both Dorothy and Leonard express their idealism, and in Leonard's case, sense of mission in undertaking agricultural advising for Rabindranath Tagore. |
