Correspondence, 1857-1865.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28308694

Letters to Ellie C. (Hunter) Norman from friends and family members. A letter from a friend at Hampden-Sydney College, written before Ellie Norman's marriage, expresses surprise that she is single, as the author had understood that she was married, and contains the author's reaction to a murder at Hampden-Sydney. Two letters were written by Swain Norman while his wife was ill in Halifax County, N.C. and he was at work on family land in Elmwood. A letter from Mrs. Norman's brother, J.E. Hunter, at Lynchburg College, mentions family matters and the horror of the Civil War. The final letter, written by Swain Norman, who was with the Home Guard in High Point, N.C., mentions attempts to capture Confederate deserters.
