Sarah Broughton's letters document the later period of her life and are concerned primarily with the removal of her family to Michigan. Along with the letters of one of her daughters, Celeste, they provide a graphic picture of the conditions of pioneer life. Included are a manuscript essay of Celeste and a manuscript book of poems by Sarah Broughton, who wrote poems and stories for women's magazines. "Sarah Sumner Broughton..an Attempt to Provide Perspective" by Frank E. Hill, a mimeographed description of the family and the correspondence, is included in the box with the letters.
