http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24040676

Family correspondence of a Wilmington, N.C., family, chiefly 1844-1865. Most of the collection consists of letters to Ann Empie Wooster from her mother, Lucy Wright Wooster, in Philadelphia, Pa., and Saratoga Springs, N.Y., 1844-1846, describing life in those places and including an account of anti-Catholic rioting in Philadelphia; papers of Lucy Wright Wooster's son, William Augustus Wooster (1839-1862); and Civil War letters from another son, John Lewis Wooster (1831-1885); and other military and civilian relatives. Papers of William A. Wooster include essays he wrote as a student at the University of North Carolina, 1859- 1860, and lengthy letters, 1860-1862, that he wrote while serving with the 18th N.C. Regiment (and perhaps other units) about camp life, and other military matters, as well as social affairs and philosophical ruminations.
