ca. 50 items, ca. 1830-1910
Personal correspondence of this family of Edgewood in Albemarle County. A statement by Bishop William Meade attests to the fact that his wife before her death wished part of her estate to be used for "The Welfare of The African race" and a November 22, 1884, letter from C. L. C. Minor at Winchester comments on the trial of two blacks for killing a white man and the mood of the community for a lynching if the verdict was not death.
