Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Consists of two letters written by Reverend Adie Kyle Bell (1815-1888) to Brother Martin, about the Female Institute at Bucknell University. The letter from 1856 discusses the difficult situation around the construction of buildings for the Institution.

The 1857 letter describes Bell's continuing struggle to complete the buildings and his efforts to fund the project.
