Correspondence, 1864-1903 and undated

This series consists of correspondence to, from, and relating to Frederick Stone. The bulk of the letters consist of correspondence between Stone and his second wife, Jennie, or his daughters, primarily Bessie Brown, but other letters concern various members of his family and some of his friends. Several letters are messages of condolence from family members and friends upon the death of Stone's daughter, Mrs. Bessie Brown, in New Orleans, after a long illness. Others are expressions of support for the campaign to keep Stone in office in 1890 and include newspaper clippings about that campaign. Other subjects include gardening, the American Civil War, travel, genealogy, business, and daily life. Arrangement is chronological. Additionally, there is a folder containing envelopes that can not be definitively matched to individual letters.
