The papers of Mary Alice Ford Armstrong, Samuel Chapman Armstrong's second wife, dating from 1888 to 1918, include correspondence from Armstrong, family and friends, and a small portion of collected and miscellaneous personal papers. Armstrong's growing affection for Ms. Ford is apparent in the progress of his letters, which begin with discussions of Hampton affairs and teaching, and become more intimate as they progress through courtship and marriage. Also included here are correspondence from family and friends regarding general family and personal matters, congratulations on Mary's engagement to Armstrong and on the birth of their children, and letters of sympathy upon Armstrong's death.
