Scope and Content Note
The Annie Perry Jester Letters consist of 13 typed pages of transcribed letters written by Annie Perry Jester, a member of Winthrop’s Class of 1898, during her time as a student from fall 1896 to January 1897. Addressed to her family in Hartsville, South Carolina, the letters detail the daily life, activities, and concerns of a student at Winthrop Normal and Industrial College in the late 19th century. Annie Perry Jester (1878–1970) later married Dr. John Roberts Jester (1875–1965). The letters were transcribed and annotated by Louise Pettus (1926–2021), a Winthrop alumna (Class of 1946) and professor. The original letters are housed at the South Caroliniana Library, University of South Carolina (Accession 6972).
