Correspondence, 1872-1910; (Bulk 1889-1903).

Family and personal correspondence of Hill, generally from his father, brothers, sisters, and women friends. Most interesting are the letters of Hill's father during 1877, while Hill was living in Washington, D.C., suggesting that he see Z.B. Vance or Matt W. Ransom about a government position. Included also are many letters of Jesse Walling, of Washington, D.C., with comments on actress Julia Marlowe and author Joseph Jefferson. The letters of Hill's brother, W. Lee Hill, reflect the career of the latter in medical school in Baltimore, Md., and as a physician in Cranberry, Lexington, and Stokes County, all in North Carolina.
