1. Chapin A. Harris Family Papers - Letter from Amanda Clute to Ozellah (her daughter) June 10, 1860 Amanda is staying with Eliza and helping her catch up with her sewing. She tells Ozellah that she prefers life in the woods to life in a town, and gives details about the wealthy family that Ozellah's aunt Jane is staying with. She mentions several acquaintances that she has seen while in town. The weather has been cool, but there has not been frost-she updates Ozellah on how different crops are doing. The letter picks up again the next day, with Amanda saying that she had a visit from Eliza and had to drop writing for the evening. She says she wishes she could be at home, passes along more news of acquaintances, and asks for news from home.

2. Chapin A. Harris Family Papers - Letter from Chapin A. Harris to Amanda Clute March 15, 1849 Copy only Chapin says that he has been too busy lately to write, but he would like to come visit for a couple weeks-he has done enough work with the College "to kill half a dozen commen men" and has been working on Principles and Practice of Dental Surgery and his dental dictionary besides. His sister Eliza visited them the previous summer, and his niece Anna has been with them nearly all of the last winter. He has had a letter from his father saying that he will soon go to visit Amanda, and Chapin expresses a hope that he settles down near Amanda permanently. He sends his love and tentatively plans to visit the next spring.
