The Adam Stephen correspondence begins in 1763-17 and continues to 1777, dealing with cattle and hemp sales, the Lancaster, Pennsylvania market for farm products of Berkeley County, Virginia (later to be West Virginia), and pack and wagon transportation to Philadelphia.
A group of 1790s letters from the North from the King, Southgate, Bowne, and Browne families describe social life in New York at the time. Eliza Southgate writes from school at Medford and also shows social life about 1803 in New York. Letters from Maine and New Hampshire are followed by a number from Charleston, S.C. in 1809. Many Bowne and Southgate family letters continue through the 1840s.
