http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48936473

The collection contains the personal, business and genealogical papers of Miss Slaughter. Much of the personal correspondence is concerned with the Slaughter family of Culpeper and Madison Counties, Va. and was solicited by H.S. Slaughter for his "History and genealogy of the Slaughter family." Drafts of her short stories, family memoirs and poetry are included as well as copies of an article on Governor Spotswood; her proposed book "Democracy, the light from Monticello and those on whom it fell"; her master's thesis "Velázquez and his art"; and her dissertation"Louis Hue Girardin, educator, historian and man-of-letters." With the latter are transcripts of 38 letters between Thomas Jefferson and Girardin. Early family correspondence includes letters on the Virginia political scene in the 1830s. There are scrapbooks of clippings on Virginia genealogy and heraldic studies done by Miss Slaughter; and school and college notebooks of family members. Among the photographs are the Episcopal Church Seminary, Fairfax County, Va.; the Rapid Anne Episcopal Church; the Edmund Randolph home in Richmond, Va.; and Forest View, Madison County, Va. A family photograph, ca. 1942, includes George S. Patton, IV. Of interest are a World War II letter from George S. Patton; a letter from Lady Astor; and the 1942 statement of purpose of the Southern Conference on Race Relations.
