Catharine Lorillard Wolfe letters to Sarah Griswold Spencer (PSNCA.H.014)

This collection includes Catharine Lorillard Wolfe’s side of the correspondence between her and Sarah Griswold Spencer. As there are only a handful of letters across a five-year period, it is not known whether there are additional letters now missing from either correspondent. In the extant letters, Wolfe discusses family developments, including the wedding of Spencer’s son Lorillard; Wolfe’s new home, Vinland, in Newport; and Wolfe’s request for Spencer to commission clothing for her at the House of Worth.
