Personal correspondence of Elizabeth Blackwell and family members of Fauquier County. There is some mention of slaves, such as a letter of June 22, n.y., from Octavia noting that a slave tried to get away in Cincinnati as they were going to Missouri and a letter of June 30, n.y., from Sarah T. Buckner who wanted to collect on a loan so that she could buy a slave's husband and send them both west.
