Financial journal of James Lawson Kemper, 1861-1871.

Kemper's daily account of debts and credits is chiefly post-war though there are a few records during his service in the Confederate army. The volume contains an account with his servant Horace (p. 232) who is also mentioned on pp. 44-45. On January 1, 1867 Kemper mentions the dissolution of his partnership with W.O. Fry and removal to new law offices in Madison County. Laid in the volume is a copy of a letter, 1856 June 4, Kemper to A.G. Grinnan discussing a western land speculation trip, and conveying local news including a recent election in Madison County, Va.
