| Abstract |
Collection contains correspondence from the Revolutionary War period, the 1820s, and the 1880s. Revolutionary War correspondence concerns Luke Wiles, who was wounded in battle in Guilford County, N.C., and discharged from the militia due to his wound. In 1825, Wiles sought relief from the national government in the form of a pension. Correspondence from the 1820s consists of social letters from Sarah Massie in Lynchburg (Nelson Co.) and Richmond, Va., to her aunt, Mrs. Sally T. Massie , in which she comments on private education of the period. She also describes a visit to Richmond, Va., by the Marquis de LaFayette, including an account of parades and military assemblages given in his honor. Correspondence of the 1880s includes information on a schism of the Episcopal Church in Virginia and a mineral spring in Arkansas owned by a member of the Goode family. |
