Family correspondence, chiefly from Simrall to his wife, Isabella Downing Price Simrall, 1863-1901. The bulk of the collection consists of his letters home on family, legal, and political subjects while he was traveling to Frankfort, Ky., New York City, Washington, D.C., and many other places on railroad business; and of letters received from Simrall, Downing, Price, and Corre relations who moved away from Kentucky and engaged in varied activities, including attendance at Daughter's College, Harrodsburg, Ky., 1854-1858, and at Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass., 1890-1893. Civil War correspondence reflects the life and opinions of Confederate sympathizers in Kentucky and includes letters from Simrall while he was imprisoned at Camp Chase, Ohio, and from Canada and Germany after his release. Also included is correspondence of earlier members of the family in the 1850s, later members in the 20th century, and letters, 1876-1910, from a relative concerning his citrus farm and resort hotel at Ormond, Volusia County, Fla.
