http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647830803

The collection consists almost entirely of letters to Mrs. Childress from friends and relatives including her husband John Waller Childress, her sister Margaret J. Tompkins Durrett, and a Georgia friend Dr. James B. Manson who mentions Sherman's march, Reconstruction and a black revolt in Bethany, Ga., and the consequent terrorizing of blacks by the Ku-Klux Klan. Other topics include the Civil War in Virginia, particularly the siege of Petersburg, and chicken farming. Of interest are two letters, 1868 and 1869, to Thomas Garland of Albemarle County from Governor Henry Horatio Wells and Ale[exander?] Rives re appointments and patronage. In addition to the correspondence there are business and miscellaneous papers, other papers re an estate settlement, and some papers of the Terrell family, 1823-1867.
