content: This series consists primarily of correspondence between Aleš Hrdlička and his first wife, Marie Strickler (sometimes given the last name Dieudonnée). Their courtship began in 1892, and they were married in 1896. Strickler died in 1918, perhaps of complications of diabetes. There is also correspondence between Hrdlička and his sister, Sadie, and his brother, Joseph. There are no letters between Hrdlička and Mina Mansfield, his second wife, in this collection.

For additional correspondence with his family, see Series 3: Correspondence. See also Series 25: From My Journeys for letters exchanged between Hrdlička and Strickler from 1915-1916.
