http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25968145

The collection is primarily family and business letters, 1832-1848, received by Thomas Baylie Cropper. The letters document the personal, financial, economic, religious, and political affairs of Cropper's relatives and others in Accomack County. Topics include farm affairs, family life, the presidential election of 1844 and the political battles in the mid-1840s between the Whigs and the Democrats, and splits in the Methodist church. There is not much information on politics and religion after 1847. Some information appears on Cropper's activities as a ship's captain and on his life in New York City. Financial and other items include bills, receipts, and invitations that relate chiefly to Cropper's son John of New York City.
