Abstract
Description
Cover the period from college days to their working days. All are written from cities in
Delaware: Dagsboro, Millsboro, and Concord. Four letters from 1852 are faded, but are still readable. Most of the content surrounds discussions about Delaware College, the Athenaean Society, personal health, friendships between his classmates, the “fair” sex, and his profession of teaching. Some stamped and dated envelopes included.
