http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23591242

Chiefly family letters, 1835-1867. Letters dated 1835-1836 are to Melissa Williams, Delia Badger's daughter by a previous marriage, who was attending school in Philadelphia, from her mother and others in Raleigh, chiefly about family activities. Most of the later letters are to Badger's daughter Kate Badger Haigh of Fayetteville, N.C., about family and neighborhood news. Included are an 1849 letter with a description of 50 drunken women and other rowdies at a cotillion in Raleigh; Civil War period letters with details of life on the homefront, including mention of sickly and pregnant slaves; and an 1867 letter discussing the possibility of an African American candidate for mayor of Raleigh. Also included are financial and legal papers, 1876-1888, of Thomas Badger and a few family photographs.
