This album is a compilation of letters written to and from members of Captain Tim Kelley’s family between July, 1893 and April, 1903. Most letters were written by Harry F. Kelley, Tim’s son, to his brother, John M. Kelley. Other letters were written to John by his mother, Annie Kelley, and by other brothers, Tim and Charles. A few letters were written to Captain Tim by Harry and to Captain Tim and Annie by Harry while he was attending the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Spelling and grammatical structure of the letters were left as written. A few words remain undecipherable.
