These papers consist chiefly of letters sent to William Chamberlain from various members of his immediate family, including his brother, Orlando Chamberlain, who served in the army during the Civil War. These letters generally state where he was camped and often give some details about the combat action. Orlando Chamberlain served first in Company E of the 34th New York Infantry, and later in Battery K of the 14th New York Artillery. The collection also includes letters of various family members written after the Civil War, dealing with family and personal matters, and with the sale of crops, timber or land. In addition to the correspondence, there are a limited amount of other papers, including one military pass granted to William, valentines sent to William, and a few financial records such as an assessment of land lots and an invoice for Sunday school supplies.
