Correspondence relating family news and activities, among various members of the Folwell and Curtis families and some friends. Many of the earlier letters are written to Rebecca McComb Folwell Curtis; later letters include those from Rebecca to her daughter Florence at St. Joseph's Convent School in Bay St. Louis, Miss. Transcripts of many of the letters are included in an undated booklet "Letters from the Folwell-Curtis families 1845 [i.e. 1849]-1890," also present in the collection. The booklet also includes several excerpts from the "Official records of the Union and Confederate Navies" regarding Nathaniel B. Folwell, who was captured during the Civil War. Other items include a brief diary (1861), a military travel pass (1865), notice of the settlement of the estate of George W. L. Folwell (1876), genealogical information, a few business papers, and an essay.
