Fowler family correspondence, 1801-1852.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/435639355

Personal correspondence of a Durham, Madison, and New Haven, Connecticut, family over three generations. The bulk of the correspondence was written by and sent to Reverend William C. Fowler (1793-1881) and dealt primarily with student life at Yale College, home life, voting and elections, and included a candid discussion of health problems. Other family members in the collection are William's wife Harriet Webster Fowler, his father Reuben Rose Fowler and mother Catherine Fowler, and his siblings Eliza Ann and Charles A. Fowler. Of interest are a memorandum to Dr. Amos G. Hill for building supplies, and correspondence to Reverend Heman Humphrey of Amherst College, where Fowler once taught.
