589. STUART-BALDWIN PAPERS

ca. 15,000 items, ca. 1780-1850
A large collection consisting almost solely of the legal, financial, and personal correspondence of Archibald Stuart and Briscoe Baldwin, lawyers from Staunton, and their related family letters. There are very few references to slavery, e.g., the June 6, 1820, sale of a slave and letters of April 10 and May 2, 1823, from P. H. Leuba to Miss Mary Jane Lewis discussing the health of slaves.
