Papers of the Massie family of Virginia, 1850-1862, 1905.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50879700

The Massie family papers contain six letters, 1858-1859, from E[dwin?] B[lackwell?] Massie at the Brookland School, Greenwood Depot, Albemarle County, Va., to his mother, Mrs. E.F. Massie. He requests items; and mentions examinations, the acceptance of Christianity by boys at the school, a visit by Launcelot Blackford, and his election as president of the Piedmont Literary Society; and sends news of classmates and principal William Dinwiddie. John Livingston Massie, a student at the University of Virginia, writes to Mrs. E.F. Massie about exams, the marriage of John Barbee Minor and the death of C.C. Lewis from typhoid fever. With these is a grade report signed by Socrates Maupin. The papers also contain a letter, 1859, from Charles M. Massie describing attempts to establish a business in New Orleans; and a letter, 1862, N.H. Massie to his sister on the death of her husband at Manassas, and several cases of scarlet fever among white and colored children in Charlottesville, Va. A letter, 1857, from the Western Lunatic Asylum in Waynesboro, reports on the imminent death of a patient. Other letters convey family news; explain how to can tomatoes; and discuss religion and salvation. A 1905 form letter from Fishburne & Son, Waynesboro, describes varieties of seed for sale.
