Family correspondence of Lewis and of his wife's family, the Garlands. Although the correspondence pertains mainly to family affairs, there are references to the Civil War, Reconstruction, railroad frauds in Alabama, the administration of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, Louise Lewis' stay in Paris, 1890-1892, as an art student, and the development of the coal and iron industry in Alabama. Approximately one-third of the letters, between Lewis and his wife, are personal in nature. Among the correspondents are Landon Cabell Garland, Louise Lewis, and Lucinda Rose Garland Lewis.
