Description
Summary:" ... A touching collection of letters from the Albany Orphan Asylum in upstate New York--letters from parents to their children and to the asylum superintendent, as well as letters from children placed out on indenture and away from their families. The letters tell the story of families of the asylum and how those families used the institution in their struggle for economic and emotional survival, indeed, how institutions in the late nineteenth century provided a much-needed social service."--Cover
