http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36794352

Papers chiefly consist of correspondence, writings, genealogical material, and other items. Included is the correspondence (1791-1850) of Oliver Hering. Correspondence (1791-1890) includes letters (1797-1818) of Mary Inglis Hering at Bath (England) to her daughter Mary H. Hering Middleton regarding family matters; and correspondence (1797-1847) of Mary Helen Hering Middleton with her children Henry Middleton (1797-1876), Edward Middleton, Elizabeth I. Middleton Fisher, Catherine Middleton, and Williams Middleton, and with relatives Mary Stead Pinckney, Septima Sexta Middleton Rutledge, Sarah McPherson Middleton, and John Izard Middleton, mainly regarding family matters. Correspondence (1822-1882) of Elizabeth Izard Middleton Fisher includes letters (1830-1845) to her in Charleston (S.C.) and elsewhere from Helena Malewska (Szymanowska) at St. Petersburg (Russia) discussing personal, family and social matters; and letters (1839-1865) from Williams Middleton in Charleston (S.C.) regarding family affairs, the devastation wrought by the Civil War, and other matters. Writings and genealogical materials (ca. 1940-1960) consist of notes and other material compiled by art historian Anna Wells Rutledge (a Middleton descendant) concerning the Hering, Inglis, Middleton, and related families, as well as notes on Middleton Place. Included are clippings, related correspondence, a copy of the will (1801) of Mary Inglis Hering, a pamphlet and other printed material about Essex (England), black and white photographs of portraits of Hering, Inglis, and Middleton family members, and color photos of family estates in Great Britain. Other items include a fragment of a commonplace book (n.d.) containing poetry; calling cards; a poem of tribute (n.d.) to "Miss Middleton"; and a watercolor painting of a Russian man.
