http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/209640479

The Jenkins Family papers consist of a small number of documents pertaining to the Jenkins family of Baltimore, Md. The first four items in the collection are letters written to Jenkins family members. The first was received by Rebecca Hillen and provides a description of work on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in 1829. The next three letters were written by Louis William Jenkins, who attended Georgetown College from 1815 to 1822 without taking a degree, to his brother Thomas Robert Jenkins, who received an A.B. from Georgetown in 1840. These letters contain references to several Georgetown faculty members and hint at contemporary conditions in the college. Also included are four folders of documents relating to John F. Bouring, whose legal guardian was Rebecca Hillen. Financial and legal in nature, the documents were created in Baltimore between 1841 and 1849.
