| Description | Scrapbook of letters, arranged and labelled by Helen Balkwill Harris. Most of the letters are written from Helen Balkwill Harris to James Rendel Harris's mother, with occasional letters from James Rendel Harris, who is less fond of letter writing. Although most of the letters are addressed to James Rendel Harris's mother, they are written to be read by the whole Harris family. HBH writes that 'The word "Mother" is an inclusive term I know, and always subsumes the household.'
