Ames family letters, 1872-1875, 1905.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/436718864

The collection consists of letters written from 1872-1875 from Mr. and Mrs. James Tyler Ames in Roswell, Georgia to their daughter Sarah Woodworth in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Apparently Ames went South for a few months because of health and business problems. Most of the letters deal with family matters, although there is some mention of the business (Ames Manufacturing Company) in Chicopee. There are two letters to Ames from Mark Cooper concerning the mineral corundum. The 1905 letter is from Charles Bass to Sarah regarding the death of her husband, Albert C. Woodworth.
