Scope and Content

1 folder ; 14 3/4" w x 9 5/8" h Folder 000501. Pieces 501-510 None of the pieces is dated and are from many time periods. There are two letters from Kate: one from school and one from Georgia talking about little Lillia. There is one letter from Lillia to John F. when he was in Annapolis that was probably sent in 1864. There is a long letter from Col. Billingsley that seems to be about the Constitutional Convention. There is a long letter to the editor of the St. Mary's Beacon from John F. Dent. There is a fragment of something exhorting members of King and Queen parish to contribute more of their time to the work of the church. Another fragment shows the pension account has $2072.25, the almshouse appropriation is $600, and the hospital appropriation is $1750. It is a pity this is not dated.
