http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702169073

The papers consist of seventy-four letters exchanged between Deming and his family and friends during Deming's years at Yale College (1833-1837). Since Deming was poor, many of his letters discuss the expenses of student life. His father's letters from Newington, Connecticut include advise on maintaining his health, family news, and discussions of monetary problems. Included also is a bill from Yale College (1836).
