Papers, 1788-1923 (bulk 1845-1903).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32720135

Chiefly correspondence of William T. Richards and his family and friends. Richards was a New England native, and three early letters from the 1840s are from a sister in Danbury, Conn. One letter from Chattooga County, Ga. (1865 Aug. 31) speaks of devastation of Civil War in that area. Also includes a bill of goods bought in New York, N.Y. in October, 1865; invitations; announcements; and clippings which relate to William Hill, once Secretary of State for N.C. One item is an announcement of William T. Richard's retirement as treasurer and paymaster of the Georgia Railroad in 1903. Some materials relate to the Hill and Thomas families in N.C., but their relation to the Richards family is unknown.

ca. 342 items.
