Series 1a. Letters -- Personal (box 1), 1890–1928

This series, mainly from 1919 to 1935, primarily consists of notes sent to Melville Post from friends and other writers, including Katharine Fullerton Gerould and Meredith Nicholson. Topics include social activities and Post's writing and his collections of stories. There are also several letters from Post to his niece, Florence Ritchie, about visits to the Chalet, buying ponies, and a trip to London.

Researchers are encouraged to consult both Series 1a. and Series 1b. since personal and professional topics often overlap in correspondence.
