Scope and Contents

Contains all correspondence that was written to Minerva with the recipient nickname of Nuf or Nuffie, a term of endearment for Ms. (Phelps) Russel. They are written by both close friends and family members such as her sister, Katherine Caperton. Interestingly, it seems that the nickname was used with a distinct method that relates the tone and content that is included in the letters.
