- Summary
- The collection consists of ten miscellaneous letters, most of them written by or directed to persons living in Connecticut during the 1850s and 1860s, touching on family matters, friendship, illness, employment, and the Civil War. Three brief letters written by relatives of Squire Gilbert and Warren Gilbert, dated 1853-1857, are directed to them at Westport, Connecticut. Two letters are addressed to Moss family members at Monroe, Connecticut, consisting of a letter written jointly by Jesse and Narcissa Moss at Jubilee, Illinois, 1861, with two loose pencil drawings of a bird and a squirrel on similar paper stock, and a letter written by Amos Moss at West Cheshire, Connecticut, 1863. Also present are five letters written by men and women, 1861-1864 and undated, which are only partly identifiable. Most items are accompanied by typed transcripts.
