Scope and content
Correspondence in this series contains letters written by Frances and received from friends, and family mainly in the 1930s, and correspondence generated as a result of her research on her father, William Dale. Of interest is a file of correspondence of her letters to her mother during her trips to Europe in 1934 and 1936 which supplement her diaries for that same period. There is only one letter for the 1940’s and none for the 1960’s. Correspondence in the 1950’s and between 1973 and 1986 consists mainly of responses from individuals and institutions relating to her research on her father, William Dale. Among the correspondents are archivists, academics and administrators from University of Toronto, Queen’s University, and McMaster University, researchers such as Robert Wilhelm and James Reaney who produced works related to her father’s life, and Prof. P.G.Cornell, Dept. of History, University of Waterloo, relating to the possible publication of her father’s lectures, essays and diaries.
