The collection consists of the scrapbook and correspondence of Lily Logan Morrill and her husband, Albert H. Morrill. The scrapbook, about Mrs. Morrill's father, Thomas Muldrup Logan, contains some of his Civil War correspondence, speeches, and newspaper clippings, mostly from the 1870s, about him. It also contains some clippings about Mrs. Morrill and her book, Builder of the New South, written about her father's life. Lily Logan Morrill's correspondence concerns her writings and sketches in the period 1908-1934. Correspondents include Thomas Nelson Page, Alexander Wilbourne Weddell, Guy Pierpont Jones, Amélie Rives Troubetzkoy, and Rose O'Neill. Albert H. Morrill's correspondence is with William Howard Taft. Included is a letter (1912 August 14) written from President Taft to Colonel Goethals in Panama introducing Morrill who wished to see the progress made on the Panama Canal. Most of the other letters (1906-1912) are personal, as the two men exchanged notes of congratulation or condolence throughout their political careers.
