Papers, 1887-1901.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31752175

The collection contains letters, 1887-1901, from Anne Eliza (Pleasants) Gordon, an aging, well-to-do widow, to her sons, Douglas Huntly Gordon and Basil Brown Gordon. Although they all resided in Baltimore, Md., the family also owned property in Rappahannock County, Va. Anne Eliza travelled extensively in the mid-Atlantic region, but her letters focus on the daily activities of a small circle of family and friends and her emotional responses to them, not on describing her surroundings. Most individual letters are not dated.
