605. NATHANIEL BEVERLY TUCKER PAPERS

ca. 100 items, 1857-61
Letters between Tucker and his relatives while he was serving as consul in Liverpool, England, in 1851-61. The letters from Virginia were mainly from relatives at Tucker's home in Jefferson County. Many of them contain news of the slaves: on January 30, 1853, the slave Mammy requested that she be taken to her grave in a hearse, and a March 28, 1856, letter mentions typhoid among slaves.
