2018.011.0040Scope and Content
1 folder ; 9 5/8 x 14 3/4"
Members of the Dorsey family practiced law in the county for generations.
Eight pages of either an essay or a speech entitled "Christianity as a Civilizing Influence." It is handwritten in pencil, with many corrections. At the end, the speech refers to the Battle of Vera Cruz [1847] seemingly as a relatively recent event.
In the upper left corner of some sheets is written "C.H.C." which may have something to do with Charlotte Hall School.
There is no hint as to the author, except that it was among the Dorsey papers.Collection
