Letters from Correspondents, S., undated
Scope and Contents
These letters are alphabetically arranged, and then chronologically within each group. There are some pieces concerning the Cabells and their kin, but most of these letters bear on Brown's most substantial work, "The Genesis of the United States." Correspondence with Houghton Mifflin (his publisher) is well-represented. A minority of pieces bear on Brown's personal business transactions, chiefly real estate. However, this section contains little of a personal nature; there are no letters from either of his wives and such letters that come to him from relatives seem to have been inspired by Brown's request for data of the family.
