Letters written by members of the Lee Family of Virginia, including Robert E. Lee; his wife, Mary Randolph Custis Lee; his children, his father-in-law, George Washington Parke Custis; and Lees of the 18th through the early 20th centuries. Approximately one quarter of the collection is material, mostly letters, written by persons who in some way were associated with the Lees (i.e. P.G.T. Beauregard, J.E. Johnston, and Benjamin Hallowell). Although some letters concern public matters during the eras of the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the post-Civil War South, many are of a domestic and personal nature.

ca. 118 letters.
