Morris, both of Charleston, S.C., and Miralla & Co., Havana, Cuba. Much of his trade was in beans, rice, oats, cheese, hay, apples, and similar commodities. Charlotte Prince's correspondence, ca. 1830 - ca. 1890, includes letters to her husband; her sisters, Lydia Collins and Anna Collins; and her daughters, Sephremia Prince and Charlotte Prince, as well as letters betwen them and other other members of the Prince and Collins families.

Much of it relates to state politics, legislation, and patronage. In some letters to his mother and brother he writes of his activities and experiences in New Mexico Terrotory, where he served as Chief Justice from 1879, and Governor 1889-1893. There is also material relating to Edwin Henry and his family, ca. 1853 - ca. 1916, including commissary documents and returns of rations dated 1864-1865. In addition to correspondence, the collection contains accounts, telegrams, share certificates, insurance documents, and deeds and leases related to properties in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
