Correspondence of Alice Stratton Stocker, the bulk of which is from her parents--Frederick (Principal of the Carleton Academy, 1892-1905) and Mary T. Goddard Stratton--and concerns life in Northfield and at the College. Some of these letters were edited and published by Merrill Jarchow in Letters to Alice: Life at Carleton from Strong to Sallmon, which also includes a brief family history. The letters also contain information about the Stratton's relatives in Althol, Massachusetts and Davenport, Iowa, and about Frederick and Mary's life in Fargo, North Dakota after leaving Carleton. There is also correspondence from friends and other relations, and material relating to the deaths of both Alice's father and husband. The collection is arranged chronologically for the most part, except for three folders relating to specific events. There are no outgoing letters in the collection.
