http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35916197

Papers consist of correspondence, financial records, slave records, estate papers, writings, and other items. Included are the papers of Arthur Middleton (b. 1832) and a group of Middleton family papers organized by material type. Papers of Charles Francis Middleton consist of typewritten transcriptions and photocopies of his letters (1864) to his wife Augusta Loftus Jordan Middleton and his sisters-in-law Ephie and Lizzie Jordan, mostly from Bermuda and aboard the ship Mary Celestia (for a time under yellow fever quarantine). These letters (addressed care of Crenshaw Brothers, Wilmington, N.C.) concern family matters, and conditions and events on board the blockade runner Mary Celestia. Correspondence (1863-1864, originals and typewritten transcriptions) of Oliver Hering Middleton (1845-1864), a member of the Charleston Light Dragoons, C.S.A. Army, consists primarily of letters to his sister Susan Matilda Middleton (1830-1880) discussing family matters, Middleton's impressions of camp life and the war, and other matters. Reminiscences (n.d.) by Alicia Hopton Middleton for the year 1865 concern family life and friends, wartime conditions at Charleston and Summerville (S.C.), destruction at Middleton Place by Union troops, the behavior and demeanor of the Middleton family slaves upon their emancipation, and the family's departure for Bristol (R.I.). Papers of Nathaniel Russell Middleton (1810-1890) include holograph drafts of speeches and essays, and a typewritten copy of a speech entitled "Education of the Soul."
