Papers of Thomas Nelson Page [manuscript], 1878-1923.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647823870

The collection consists chiefly of letters from Page to his future wife Anne (Annie) Seddon Bruce. Most of the content is personal but there is also information about his writing and his legal practice in Richmond with his cousin Thomas Nelson Carter. Topics include publisher Charles Scribner, fellow authors, particularly George Washington Cable, University of Virginia student days, health, family servants, speaking engagements, social events, and political aspirations. In addition there are letters to Anne from family and friends discussing family news and local events including her wedding. Of some interest are seven letters, 1886-1887, from Nellie and Meade Minnigerode and J. Douglas Bruce describing life in Europe. There are also a few miscellaneous letters to Page chiefly re business and literary matters, and a photograph of Page with Henry Field. Correspondents include James R. Osgood, Rosewell Page, and Amélie Rives.
