Letters from Alcorn to his wife, Amelia Walton (Glover) Alcorn, including fifteen Civil War letters, written from Mississippi and Kentucky; pre-war plantation records and Alcorn's diary (1879-1880) with short entries on the weather, farming, sale of produce, and social, family, and religious affairs. The correspondence chiefly concerns political conditions before and during the Civil War and reflects Alcorn's political thinking as an antisecessionist, Confederate general, and Republican governor of Mississippi.
