http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51038690

The papers consist primarily of business letters to Hubard from Alfred T. Harris of Harris and Gibson concerning the tobacco trade, stocks, bonds, the Bank of Virginia and orders for supplies. Letters from family and friends include one from George Jones on the sale of slaves in 1848; one from Beverley Hargrove regarding a sawmill and dam on the Tye River, 1849; and one from Richard G. Morris on the danger to slavery if the West comes to dominate Congress. Three 1850 letters from his brother Congressman Edmund Wilcox Hubard mention the Compromise of 1850, Henry Clay, Free Soilers, the Missouri Compromise, the Fugitive Slave law and slavery in the territories. Six letters from his sons Wiliam Bolling Hubard and James Lenaeus Hubard discuss schooling at "Wigwam" and at the Virginia Military Institute. A letter from Robert Thruston Hubard, Jr., of the 3rd Virginia Cavalry discusses camp life; the hiring of two Negro brothers as hostler and cook; and a drill and review by General Fitz Lee in preparation for a review of J.E.B. Stuart's division by Robert E. Lee. There is also a letter from Lenaeus Bolling to his mother Susanna Bolling Wilcox concerning "Chellowe," Buckingham County.
