The collection consists of a letter from A. A. Echols, dated November 12, 1860 from Savannah, Georgia, to Emory Washburn,
former governor of Massachusetts. This lengthy letter, prompted by Lincoln's election six days earlier, expresses early Southern
reaction to that election, Civil War causes, and the Southern course of action. Echols, apparently a long-time friend of Washburn,
mildly criticizes him for joining the Republican Party, predicts that the effect of Lincoln's election will be peaceful secession,
and proposes some commercial realignments between the North and South.

The collection consists of letters from Aaron Harber from Cleveland, Ohio; Lexington, Kentucky; Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and
Trenton, Georgia. In his letters he describes being sent to Camp Dennison, Ohio and being put in the Invalid Corps after an
arm injury. He writes about being sent to Carver Hospital and Rush Barracks in Washington, D.C. for guard duty. Most of his
letters describe camp life, fellow soldiers, health, and attempts to get furloughs. Two of the letters mention Abraham Lincoln.
There are also several letters from friends to Mina and from Mina to her husband. Her letters describe the struggles to do
housework and raise the children (Nicholas A. and James B.) alone.
