| Summary: | The manuscripts are different versions of Nuttall's seminal work on the Aztec calendrical system which she presented at various meetings of the Congress (Int.) of Americanists under the tutelage of F.W. Putnam. This work was intended to be published as the first volume of the Peabody Museum Memoirs, but Nuttall was not satisfied that it was complete and the volume was never published. Her work on the calendar was presented as numerous papers, pamphlets, and articles from 1894 through 1928. The correspondence includes letters from Nuttall to Putnam and to Bowditch detailing her work in Mexico and subsequently on the progress of her writings. These letters clearly illustrate the mentor relationship Putnam had with many of his students, including Nuttall. Other letters are to Putnam's secretary Frances Mead, whom Nuttall often addressed as "dear friend," and to her various publishers, bookbinders, and paper suppliers. |
