bulk of the items concentrated in the period between 1917 and 1919. The

sister, Sophy Hulsizer Powell, to family members during World War I. Copher
described her work at the Harvard U.S. Army Base Hospital No. 5, British
Expeditionary Force, near Paris, France, and commented on local social life and
customs. Powell's letters were written chiefly in 1919 when she lived in
London, England, as the wife of American commercial attaché, Fred Wilbur
Powell, and reflect the social life of the expatriate community in London. The
collection also includes newspaper clippings pertaining to the Hulsizer
family.
This collection is arranged by type of material. The correspondence is
