Alexander Hamilton Stephens was vice president of the Confederate States of America. His brother, Linton Stephens, was a lieutenant colonel of the 15th Georgia Regiment, Confederate States of America. The collection is chiefly microfilm. Microfilm items consist primarily of correspondence, 1861-1862, between Alexander and Linton Stephens, with some additional correspondence, mostly relating to family matters and involving Henry H. Cumming, James Gardner Junior, and Herschel V. Johnson. Other items include a letter, 18 March 1850, from A. H. Stephens recommending Lucien W. Dawson, son of William Crosby Dawson, for an appointment as a midshipman in the United States Navy; a letter (photocopy), 1861, to Stephens from Thomas O. Moore, governor of Louisiana, certifying that the eight electors for President and Vice President of the Confederacy have been elected, and have voted for Davis and Stephens unanimously; and a letter (photocopy), 5 December 1862, from members of the Georgia legislature asking Stephens to address them on the present crisis.
