The collection also contains two volumes of letters Eva Eve Jones wrote to family describing her travels through Europe in
1879, manuscripts of Charles Jr.'s writings on Georgia history, Charles Jr.'s speeches including an 1861 speech to the Chatham
Artillery, and addresses (1886-1892) he gave before the Confederate Survivors Association. Also included is a copy of the
original manuscript for William Bartram's book Observations on the Creek and Cherokee Indians attributed to Ephraim G. Sqier
(1821-1888). The manuscript contains tracings of Bartram's drawing of prehistoric mounds, Creek towns, and Cherokee and Creek
structures not found in the published work.
