Series 2 contains correspondence sent to Richard R. Wright between 1931 and 1934, his undergraduate years at Princeton. Richard was the son of Harry H. Wright. Most correspondence comes from his family's home in Allentown, New Jersey, as well as from Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA. His correspondents include his mother Mary (Mae), his father H.H. Wright, his sisters Elizabeth and Mary, his uncle W.L. Wright, Jr., and a woman named Jeanne. Occasionally included are letters Mae received from her brother Fred in Harrisburg, PA, letters Mae and Harry received from Elizabeth once she was studying at Wilson College. Two of the letters are written by Richard Wright from Princeton, to each of his parents, and postmarked May 1935.

The correspondence reflects mainly domestic and farm life and family news, in particular news of illness, as well as marriages, funerals, and farm duties. Occasionally the letters comment on Richard's studies and exams, as well as ways to cover the costs he encountered at Princeton. Mae Wright, who arranged to have Richard's laundry done regularly, was his most reliable correspondent. Elizabeth began attending Wilson College in 1933, which was a women's college at the time, and her letters reflect undergraduate life there.

Folder 7 includes two pamphlets: Campus Songs, printed in 1934, and the Style Book of the Daily Princetonian, printed in 1933.
