Jenkins Family Papers, 1741-1877.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50421488

The Jenkins family papers include journals, a letterbook, other miscellaneous correspondence and a variety of material from the Jenkins and Guest families. Of particular note are the journals and copybook kept by Jabez Jenkins, a Quaker merchant. The documents from Canton were apparently assembled for his children after the death of their mother and contain parental advice on a variety of subjects. A letter, written in 1741 from Sophia Hume to Madam Shettele, provides information about her attitude towards rationalism and other topics.
