http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647818447

The collection consists chiefly of letters from J.D. Osbourne, Paris, John C. Rutherfoord, Rock Castle, and Charles Morris, Hanover. Topics include pro-Southern French sentiment, the Civil War, Reconstruction, sharecropping, the education of freedmen, the Virginia Convention of 1871, life in Paris during the 1860s, and during the Commune and siege of Paris, 1871, and a controversy regarding Grace Episcopal Church rectory, Keswick. Of interest is an attempt to gain help from the Peabody Fund to educate the son of General Reuben Lindsay Walker.
