This series consists of works and letters written by Edith Ogden Harrison, Harrison's wife. "Bicycles and Billiards" is a short essay about the pursuit of these pastimes in Chicago around the turn of the twentieth century. It may have been taken from the manuscript of Edith Harrison's autobiography, Strange to Say. Edith Harrison's diary is a small notebook containing descriptions of her daily activities, as well as lists of expenses, recipes, and notes to herself about people she met and a variety of other miscellaneous topics. The outgoing correspondence from 1921-1928 consists of letters to her children and grandchildren while she and Harrison were traveling overseas. All of the outgoing correspondence from 1946-1949 was addressed to Russell MacFall, a friend of the Harrisons who worked for the Chicago Tribune, and relate to the assistance MacFall provided Mrs. Harrison with the editing and publishing of Strange to Say.
