Letters (1821-1859) to Martha Ker Terry from her husband, her mother, Mary Ker, and her brother, John Ker of Natchez, and letters to Sarah Terry Jefferies discuss personal and family matters. Notable correspondent Henry Hughes, an attorney of Port Gibson, Mississippi, comments on settlement of Martha Miller Jefferies' estate, the Democratic Convention at Charleston, and issues relative to his participation in the Civil War. Civil War letters written by members of the Jefferies family comment on troop movements, battles (e.g., Manassas, Yorktown, and Fort Pickens), and concern for slaves and property. Included among the Civil War letters are two apparently written by Sollomon, a family slave. One was written at Port Hudson (1862), is addressed to "mistress," and he discusses the goods his master needs and offers greetings to other family members. The other is not addressed/"
