Papers, 1885-1900.

The collection consists primarily of letters, 1885-1900, from Douglas Huntly Gordon to his widowed mother, Anne Elizabeth (Pleasants) Gordon. Although both resided in Baltimore, the family owned property in Virginia and family members travelled extensively along the East Coast. Douglas's letters to his mother generally concern family members and friends, the maintenance of family residences, and especially the health of Douglas's older brother, Basil Brown Gordon. There is some information on sources of income for family members.
