Lewis and Richard Collins papers, 1830-1871 (bulk 1840-1850).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191917536

This collection contains personal papers of Lewis and Richard Collins. The papers include receipts and financial papers of Lewis Collins (ca. 1834); three indentures for land Lewis Collins bought in Maysville from his son Richard, James S. Armstrong, and Richard Henry Lee (July 17, 1839); and an undated prayer book belonging to Mary Eleanor Collins which probably dated to her childhood. There is also a letter to Lewis from James Chamberlayne Pickett (1830), apparently a diplomat who was in Bogota, Columbia. Pickett described the political situation in Columbia.
