Historical Note
Harriet Moody (1857-1932) a teacher and businesswoman was the wife of poet and playwright William Vaughn Moody (1869-1910). She taught high school English in Chicago, Illinois, before starting a catering business in the mid-1890s, the Home Delicacies Association, whose customers included Marshall Field's and all of the Pullman service on Chicago railroads. She was acquainted with many literary figures of the early 20th century. Edith S. Kellogg was apparently a long time friend of Moody.
Content Description
The collection is chiefly Moody's outgoing personal letters (1906, 1914-1932). Some of the letters are in Moody's handwriting, but most have been transcribed by Edith S. Kellogg and contain Kellogg's handwritten notes. Correpondents include Vachel Lindsay, Robert Frost, Edwin Arlington Robinson, Alice Corbin Henderson, Rabindranath Tagore, Ananda Kentish, Coomaraswamy, Percy MacKaye, Padriac Colum, and Thomas Wood Stevens. There are also pages in Moody's handwriting of a 1909 diary, along with transcriptions of the diary by Kellogg.
