Abstract

Mabel Loomis (1856-1932) was an astronomer, teacher, civic organizer, and close, though controversial, associate of Emily Dickinson's brother, William Austin Dickinson. Loomis was responsible for bringing the first volumes of Emily Dickinson's verse to the reading public.

This collection includes three letters (two from Loomis and one from her daughter) to Jane Summerell, a faculty member in the Department of English at Woman's College (now UNCG).

Dates: 1932
