This series consists primarily of family correspondence to Barbara Angus Hume, including letters from her mother Mona Hume, father Robert Hume, sister Mary Galt, and brothers John J. Hume and David Hume. Indeed, the correspondence is heaviest for the years from 1936 to 1942 when she was studying at Macdonald College at McGill University and then working in Montreal, away from her Port Hope home. By the early 1940s her mother had moved to Montreal and Barbara became responsible for her home care. There are several touching family letters from November to December 1955 at the time of her mother's last illness and death. In addition to the correspondence, there is a small amount of memorabilia relating to her school, the Overseas Education League tour of Great Britain in 1936, and various theatre productions.
