William and Catharine Nicholson Few papers, 1782-1844.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/438877766

The collection consists of mainly of letters dated 1782-1844 which had been stitched together in groups. The letters were exchanged between William Few, his wife Catherine and their children. Catherine Few also wrote letters to her sister Maria Few Montgomery, her grandchildren and her friend, Harriett Woodward Murray. There are several letters to and from other family members. There is also a folder of letters written by Joseph Hopper Nicholson (1770-1817), cousin of Catherine Few, to Frances Few. Writings and a biographical sketch of William Few are included. Though these are essentially family letters describing such topics as children, health, social activities, local and foreign travel and weather, there is also commentary on political and military matters. Some of the letters of Joseph Nicholson mention his part in the War of 1812 bombardment of Fort McHenry in Maryland.
