Correspondence was held in an envelope with Jacob Gould Schurman's letterhead (Schurman was Munro's son-in-law, having married Munro's daughter, Barbara Forrest Munro). The envelope has notes from succeeding family members who held the letters, including Dorothy Schurman (McHugh/Hawes) Sisk, and her son G. [George] Michael McHugh, who gave the letters to his cousin, Lydia Cushman Schurman (Godfrey), in 1986.
