Manigault, Morris, and Grimball family papers, 1795-1832.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/22758274

The collection is chiefly family letters, 1804-1822 and 1831-1832, written by members of the Manigault, Morris, and Grimball family, especially Margaret Izard Manigault and Harriet Manigault Wilcocks in Philadelphia to Elizabeth Manigault Morris and Margaret Ann (Meta) Morris Grimball in Charleston, S.C. These letters are heavily focussed on family affairs and social life, providing much detail about Philadelphia polite society, including descriptions of balls, theater parties, social calls, clothing, problems with servants, women's issues, and other matters. There are also references to family marriages, illnesses, and deaths, as well as to world affairs and foreign aristocrats living in the United States.
