http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647950640

Correspondence of Thomas M. Smiley, a Confederate soldier, discusses camp life, battles and campaigns including Romney, Yorktown, Cedar Mountain, Castleman's Ferry and Chancellorsville, and prison life at Ft. Delaware, Delaware. Post-war letters pertain to business and veterans' reunions. Correspondence of other members of the Smiley and related Hogshead, Earheart, and Fulton families contains references to the Healing Spring health resort, Richmond in 1865, the Hampton Roads peace conference, 1865, and the Augusta Female Institute (later Mary Baldwin College). Business and legal papers including surveys, accounts, receipts, deeds, taxes, and promissory notes chiefly concern William Smiley's land in Randolph Co., W. Va. The collection also contains a trustee's ledger for the Brownsburg Academy, Rockbridge Co., and the notebook of school-girl Mary A. Smiley. John Daniel Imboden and Mary J. Baldwin are correspondents.
