Carmelita (née Chase) was the widow of Sebastian Hinton, son of Mary Boole. She was thus a cousin by marriage to Taylor and his close contemporary (b. 1890).
The 1937 letter is addressed from Putney, Vermont, where Mrs. Hinton ran a school; others are from her Pennsylvania home, but many are from various addresses in China which she frequently visited, and always admired. Her son William wrote `Fanshen' on land reform in China, and her daughter Joan settled there. The impact of Chinese culture and ideas on an idealistic American family is well illustrated in these letters.
There is a letter from Taylor dated 7 May 1969 in the sequence, and letters from other members of the family.
