http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79449795

Correspondence, legal papers relating to Foster's claims for pay, wills, and military commissions of Foster's heir, Charles H. Wainwright. Correspondence is primarily between Foster and his wife, Mary Russell Foster (also known as Polly), and contains detailed descriptions of military stations, travels, and domestic and military observations during the Revolution, 1776-1779, in which Foster served as a surgeon. Foster's letters were written mostly from near Fishkill, N. Y., and Danbury, Conn. Mary's letters, chiefly from Boston, describe domestic life and reflect the impact of war on the economy.
