The collection consists of correspondence to James Gardner, most regarding problems with the sale of cotton cargo on the ship
Northern Liberties. The business letters mention the Embargo Act which prevented international trade to and from American
ports. On March 1, 1908, the embargo was superseded by the Nonintercourse Act which allowed trade to resume with all but France
and Britain. There is also a personal letter dated July 28, 1808 from Gardner's son Henry describing the play, "Andrian from
Glycery."
A second set of letters dated 1849 are to James Rhind (1811-1854), who married James Gardner's daughter Mary (1815-1851).
Also business letters, they were written by Charles Hartridge and William Duncan and deal mainly with the sale and prices
of cotton.

The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection comprehensively documents Russell's activities as a United States senator representing
the state of Georgia. The Dictation Series is composed of letters and memoranda entirely or partially dictated by Senator
Russell. The series is an integration of the copies for the Winder and Washington offices. Most of the dictated correspondence
or memos contain Russell's views on upcoming legislation, political appointments, support of or opposition to bills and amendments
as well as his positions on such issues as defense, the Vietnam war, agriculture issues, the investigation of the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy, and civil rights and other national issues. Senator Russell rarely expressed his opinions regarding
local and state politics in writing or in any public forum.
