Content Description
Collection contains manuscript materials compiled before, during, and after the American Civil War (1861-1865) by a young English-born woman living in Virginia, including a war-time commonplace book and letters documenting her decline into depression during the war, which evidently led to her stay in a mental health facility by 1870.
