http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24250519

Most of the correspondence was written in the 1830s and 1840s, and was concerned with personal and family affairs and with Joseph Milligan's scientific and medical interests; also with cotton and business prospects. Included are letters from Samuel Henry Dickson and other Charleston doctors, scientists, and professors; correspondence between the Dr. Milligan, father and son; and letters from the women of the family about their daily activities. The personal letters of this group cover a wide range of topics, including current events and philosophic matters. The volumes are mostly records of physicians. Among the correspondents are members of the Camfield, Longstreet, and Milligan families, E. R. Calhoun, I.R. Branham, Henry M. Bruns, John Dickson, Samuel Henry Dickson, Charles T. Ketchum, M. Laborde, Thomas L. McBryde, George Parrott, and Henry K. Silliman.
