Typed extracts from Frost correspondence for years 1892-1918 are also present.
Family papers and documents include fragmentary correspondence; genealogical notes and a family tree; miscellaneous licenses and diplomas issued to Frost; a fragment of one of his son's diary (1898); family financial records and legal documents; biographical clippings; and published material. The materials are arranged chronologically by correspondent or by subject.
