The papers of Catherine Hamilton (Cabell) Claiborne Cox, of Richmond, consist of nine diaries, 1903-1923, that discuss her social activities and meetings of various women's clubs. The correspondence, ca. 1841-1874, and accounts, 1852-1876, of Henry Coalter Cabell concern his law practice in Richmond and farm in Abbeville, S.C.
