Identifier: MS.5971

Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

Richard Burdon Haldane wrote to his mother, Mary Elizabeth Haldane, every day, sometimes twice daily, when he was not with her either at Cloan or in London, and he made a point of keeping her informed about all his activities. In effect this was his diary; these daily letters are generally brief and seldom go into much detail, but they provide an invaluable guide to his day-to-day activities over most of his busy life. He outlived his mother by only three years.
