The collection contains 15 letters, 1845-1856, from John Hargon, Madison County, Miss., to Edward Lloyd, Easton, Md., regarding the management of Lloyd's Mississippi plantation, the cotton market, the health of plantation slaves, the Mexican-American War, and rising tensions between Northern and Southern states; and letters, 1857-1858, from George F. Brinsfield to Edward Lloyd, regarding the management of Lloyd's plantation. Personal correspondence of Gladys Baldwin Barr includes letters, 1913-1927, from Bliss Carman regarding Carman's poetry; his travels in Canada and the U.S.; his health, especially his trips to John Harvey Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium and other spas; Woodrow Wilson's role in World War I; and Baldwin's studies and travels in the U.S. and abroad. Other topics include a novelization of Edward Childs Carpenter's The Cinderella man; the suicide of a friend; religion, especially Catholicism; women's suffrage and the labor movement; poetry and theater; social and family matters; Baldwin's marriage to Stringfellow Barr; and Carman's affection for Baldwin. Of interest are a 1914 letter from Carman ("Willie") to Baldwin ("Grandmother"), portraying their age difference as a humorous family romance; manuscripts, typescripts, and clippings, 1914-1927, of poems by Carman; and a newspaper clipping, n.d., regarding him. There are also letters, 1919-1924, from Bliss Carman to his physician, Gertrude M. Johnson, regarding the Battle Creek health regimen, World War I, his travels, and Gladys Baldwin Barr; and a letter, 30 December 1921, Carman to Stringfellow Barr regarding an essay on the French that Barr hoped to publish in an American magazine. There are also photographs, 1920-1929, of Bliss Carman; a 1930 letter from Lorne Pierce to Gladys Baldwin Barr regarding a proposed biography of Carman; and miscellaneous correspondence, 1936-1943, of Gladys Baldwin Barr, regarding a stay in London in 1936, Giuseppe Mazzini, her nephew's post in Sicily during World War II, and life in Reading, Eng., during World War II.
