Papers : of the Miller family, 1858-1869.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30793413

The papers consist largely of correspondence between Charlotte A. Phipps Miller and David Chambers Miller when he was a student at Emory & Henry and a lawyer in Rogersville, Tenn. and she a student at the Rogersville Female Academy. There are a few wartime letters sending news of family and friends while Miller was a member of Co. K, 19th regt., Tennessee Volunteers, C.S.A. Miller's letters, 1866-1869, from Liberty Academy, 7 Mile Ford, Smyth County, Va. describe his life as a school teacher and political refugee. The collection also contains some wartime letters of Mrs. Miller's brother, her schoolgirl essays, her commonplace book with 1861 diary entries, and photographs of the Millers and his father Jacob. Of interest is a petition, 1860, to John Letcher from a group of Halifax County, Va. citizens asking that the death sentence for a slave convicted of rape be commuted to transportation.
