Papers, 1848-1885 and n.d.

Chiefly letters written by Chadick's friends and relatives during war years. Most are of personal nature, but several are from fellow soldiers stationed in Virginia, including James Fleming with the 5th Alabama Infantry Regiment, camped in Newmarket Valley, Va. (1864). There are brief references to the Battle of Bethel Church (1861), the capture of Winchester by Captain Ewell, and Yankee prisoners held in tobacco factories in Richmond, Va. (1861). Other references are to marriage and courtship, social life in Richmond. Included in collection: cartoon broadside on "fishing for a wife" with personal names written in; poem on human and Christian love written on stationery from N.C. Military Institute in Charlotte; last will and testament of Eliza L. Chrenshaw (1848), and sale of goods from Martha Chadick estate, with purchasers' names and prices (1858).
