Extensive correspondence document family relations between the McDaniels, Felkers, and Tichenors, including the business, home economics, and amusements of upper middle class Southerners of their day. Letters come from Mercer University (first in Penfield, then in Macon, Bibb County), Chatham Co. and Whitfield Co., GA, Tennessee, Virginia, and New York, among other places.
