The collection is primarily correspondence of Warren's immediate family and of his and his wife's relatives in Vermont, Massachusetts, Alabama, and eastern North Carolina. Included are letters from Warren, in Raleigh, N.C., serving in the state legislature, attending conventions, and presiding on the judicial circuit to his wife, Deborah Virginia Bonner Warren (1829-1910); letters from his daughter Lucy Wheelock Warren (1850-1937) at Saint Mary's School in Raleigh, 1865-1867; from his son Charles Frederick Warren (1852-1904) at Washington College (later Washington and Lee University), Lexington, Va., 1869-1873; and from relatives serving in both the Union and Confederate armies and held as prisoners of war. These include latters from two of Warren's brothers in the Confederate Army: Fred, a prisoner of war in Indianapolis, and Herbert C. (d. 1864), with the 6th Alabama Volunteers. Also included are letters of another brother, John W., who served with the Wisconsin Cavalry and was taken prisoner at Columbia, S.C. Correspondence during the late 1860s and early 1870s includes letters concerning judicial business and court matters, as well as race relations and life at several Virginia health resorts where Edward Jenner Warren went to cure his rheumatism. Papers after 1876 are chiefly personal correspondence of daughter Lucy Wheelock Warren Myers. Volumes include Charles Warren's notes from classes at Washington College, 1871-1872; Deborah Virginia Bonner Warren's notebook of cures and rules for health; and Edward Warren's book of law forms.
