Personal and business papers of Stubbs and other family members. Civil War correspondence includes letters to Stubbs from his sons, William J., James, and Jefferson, in various towns and army camps in Virginia; letters from John L. Hibble, brother of Mrs. Jefferson W. Stubbs and Confederate captain and quartermaster in the 26th Regiment, Virginia Volunteers; and letters from various residents of Gloucester County serving in the army. The latter items concern, in the event of their deaths, the disposition of these soldiers' personal effects and care for their homes and families. Letters written by James while attending Virginia Military Institute describe school accommodations, classes, and moot courts. Topics addressed in the Civil War correspondence include camp conditions, illness, troop movements, deserters, Federal gunboats, high cost of living, and battles. The Peninsular Campaign, Yorktown, Fort Brown, Seven Pines, James River, Chickahominy, Drewry's Bluff, and the Antietam Campaign are some of the places and events mentioned. Reconstruction correspondence is chiefly commercial and includes reports from various Baltimore factors (e.g., Fergusson, Tyson & Co. and Samuel Turbett).
