The majority are written to Flora Hiett Baker of Winchester, Virginia, between 1869-1873, with some being undated. The majority of the letters are written to Flora from family and friends before and after her marriage. Some letters are written from her future husband, Joseph Hiett. There are five letters from 1867-1869 from Flora to her Joseph Hiett before their marriage. Collection includes some letter fragments. There are three letters to and from individuals who have an unknown affiliation with Flora.","In Photograph Copies and Information, there are printed copies of Flora's life. Photographs include Flora when she was young, Flora in family portrait, and a drawing of the family's house. There is a printed copy of a newspaper article detailing Flora's 101st birthday and how she has lived through 5 United States wars. There are two printed documents from Ancestry with information on Flora and her family.","In Correspondences, 1870, three letters are written from two of her cousins. One letter is from her cousin Mick who responds to a letter she wrote him, and based on her first letter, he describes her as, \"a woman of thought, of refined feelings, of tender sensibilities, and pretty strong-minded, too, for a country lassie.\" He explains the life in the city to her and refers to her as from the country or as rustic. Mick's letters to Flora contain vivid prose and descriptions, with one such example, \"those whose hearts have been passion-tossed till the very desolation of shipwreck itself is a kind of relief -- they only can know the inestimable worth of genuine love and truthfulness.\"","In Correspondences, 1871, there are seven letters from different individuals to Flora. Some letters include additional handwriting in pencil on them. One letter addressed to Flora details the writer, Henry's, recent experiences and items sent in the mail, along with the message, \"I have caught the quilt fever and you can help me partially to recover from it by sending as your portion of th emedicine one square. Please ask Mis Hal, Mis Julia, \u0026 Miss Attie if they will not also help to cure their friend as he is very very ill, the size of square.\" The papers also include pencil writing from Flora as a response to the letter, and she writes, \"I am always sorry to hear of any of my Friends hav-ing the fever, but as I do not consider your case a serious one ... we will each take pleasure in aiding your recovery.\" Her response also describes how a neighbor arrived to their home and told them of a dead body by their gate, and her \"Pa and the Boys\" went to investigate. The letters show the sense of humor between Flora and Henry. Another letter from Camille Baker expresses her concern for Flora that her flowers died, and she asks, \"Why didn't your sisters wat-er them for you?\"","In Correspondences, 1872, there are eleven letters. One letter from a family member explains the details of Flora coming to visit in Washington D.C., and the writer explains that she will keep \"busy sight-seeing as long as you choose to remain here.\" A letter from around half a month later asks if Flora still planned to visit as they had not heard anything, and Camille Baker was \"overjoyed\" to see her cousin. Another letter to Flora explains the death of her cousin's young son, and Flora wrote a response in pencil along the paper. One letter discusses turkeys and the price of them in Washington, D.C., and her cousin Mick using details like \"the perfect healthfulness of the Mr. Gobbler\" when describing the turkeys to Flora. Along with this, the folder includes a letter written to Flora's sister, Julia.","In Correspondences, 1873, there are three letters all from Flora's brother Will. He explains \"how much pleasure a letter from home affords\" him whenever he receives a letter from her. He asks quite a few questions about a pair of pants and where to send them.","In Correspondences, Unknown Year, there are eight letters. One letter includes a piece of polkadot cloth. One letter is sent to Lizzie Baker, but does not state the sender of the letter. Another is sent to \"Ma\" but also does not include the name of the sender. Flora's writing features again on a letter to her from Susan, and she responds in pencil. Some letters come from Joe Hiett requesting her to write to him soon. One letter explains the person's daily life along with how \"the Chickens and they will not lay eggs.\" Because the letters do not contain a year, they follow a pattern by the month written on them.","In Flora's Correspondences, 1869, there are seven letters written by Flora. One letter from Flora is sent to \"My almost Bro\" where she requests him to come visit her soon. One letter to Joe describes her time at a cemetery and the beauty of it. Throughout the entire letter, she responds to different letters he sent her over time. At the end, she explains that she will now wait for his next one. Another letter to Joe includes her writing along the margins and at the top of the paper. One letter to Joe opens by discussing his fever and chills, and she describes a girl she knew who died from fever and chills, and she writes, \"remember she was but a girl and boys do not mind what hurts girls.\" Two letters to Joe are very faded, but legible.","In Flora's Fragments, undated, there are three pieces of paper written by Flora, although they do not contain the entire letter. One is a torn piece of paper. Another fragment includes a message asking for a sack pattern, and Flora writes in pencil on the paper. It does not seem like she responds to the sack patten message, but rather a different letter. Another piece includes a P.S. section where she discusses how she often writes long letters, the \"hedge fever\" going around as people worry about their hedges, and a fever that she is still recovering from. She ends her letter by saying, \"I've a crow to pick with you.\"","In Unknown Relations Correspondences, there are three letters to and from individuals whose relationships to Flora are unknown. One letter is from 1854 describing recent trips and visits with family members, from one brother to another. Another letter is from 1878 between the brothers again. The third letter is written by someone else and is undated. This letter opens, \"I almost stand alone now most every person has died that was grown when I first came to Ky. children who were small are now grandfathers or mothers.\" Later the author writes, \"What do you think of the political situation \u0026 do you think the South will ever shake off the yoke of the present government? Every thing looks glommy.\" The letter continues to describ Grant and martial law. Later, the author writes, \"This is a poor mis-erable world we live in dear Brother do let us try to get to a better.\"","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

One letter is from her cousin Mick who responds to a letter she wrote him, and based on her first letter, he describes her as, \"a woman of thought, of refined feelings, of tender sensibilities, and pretty strong-minded, too, for a country lassie.\" He explains the life in the city to her and refers to her as from the country or as rustic. Mick's letters to Flora contain vivid prose and descriptions, with one such example, \"those whose hearts have been passion-tossed till the very desolation of shipwreck itself is a kind of relief -- they only can know the inestimable worth of genuine love and truthfulness.\"","In Correspondences, 1871, there are seven letters from different individuals to Flora. Some letters include additional handwriting in pencil on them. One letter addressed to Flora details the writer, Henry's, recent experiences and items sent in the mail, along with the message, \"I have caught the quilt fever and you can help me partially to recover from it by sending as your portion of th emedicine one square. Please ask Mis Hal, Mis Julia, \u0026 Miss Attie if they will not also help to cure their friend as he is very very ill, the size of square.\" The papers also include pencil writing from Flora as a response to the letter, and she writes, \"I am always sorry to hear of any of my Friends hav-ing the fever, but as I do not consider your case a serious one ... we will each take pleasure in aiding your recovery.\" Her response also describes how a neighbor arrived to their home and told them of a dead body by their gate, and her \"Pa and the Boys\" went to investigate. The letters show the sense of humor between Flora and Henry. Another letter from Camille Baker expresses her concern for Flora that her flowers died, and she asks, \"Why didn't your sisters wat-er them for you?\"","In Correspondences, 1872, there are eleven letters. One letter from a family member explains the details of Flora coming to visit in Washington D.C., and the writer explains that she will keep \"busy sight-seeing as long as you choose to remain here.\" A letter from around half a month later asks if Flora still planned to visit as they had not heard anything, and Camille Baker was \"overjoyed\" to see her cousin. Another letter to Flora explains the death of her cousin's young son, and Flora wrote a response in pencil along the paper. One letter discusses turkeys and the price of them in Washington, D.C., and her cousin Mick using details like \"the perfect healthfulness of the Mr. Gobbler\" when describing the turkeys to Flora. Along with this, the folder includes a letter written to Flora's sister, Julia.","In Correspondences, 1873, there are three letters all from Flora's brother Will. He explains \"how much pleasure a letter from home affords\" him whenever he receives a letter from her. He asks quite a few questions about a pair of pants and where to send them.","In Correspondences, Unknown Year, there are eight letters. One letter includes a piece of polkadot cloth. One letter is sent to Lizzie Baker, but does not state the sender of the letter. Another is sent to \"Ma\" but also does not include the name of the sender. Flora's writing features again on a letter to her from Susan, and she responds in pencil. Some letters come from Joe Hiett requesting her to write to him soon. One letter explains the person's daily life along with how \"the Chickens and they will not lay eggs.\" Because the letters do not contain a year, they follow a pattern by the month written on them.","In Flora's Correspondences, 1869, there are seven letters written by Flora. One letter from Flora is sent to \"My almost Bro\" where she requests him to come visit her soon. One letter to Joe describes her time at a cemetery and the beauty of it. Throughout the entire letter, she responds to different letters he sent her over time. At the end, she explains that she will now wait for his next one. Another letter to Joe includes her writing along the margins and at the top of the paper. One letter to Joe opens by discussing his fever and chills, and she describes a girl she knew who died from fever and chills, and she writes, \"remember she was but a girl and boys do not mind what hurts girls.\" Two letters to Joe are very faded, but legible.","In Flora's Fragments, undated, there are three pieces of paper written by Flora, although they do not contain the entire letter. One is a torn piece of paper. Another fragment includes a message asking for a sack pattern, and Flora writes in pencil on the paper. It does not seem like she responds to the sack patten message, but rather a different letter. Another piece includes a P.S. section where she discusses how she often writes long letters, the \"hedge fever\" going around as people worry about their hedges, and a fever that she is still recovering from. She ends her letter by saying, \"I've a crow to pick with you.\"","In Unknown Relations Correspondences, there are three letters to and from individuals whose relationships to Flora are unknown. One letter is from 1854 describing recent trips and visits with family members, from one brother to another. Another letter is from 1878 between the brothers again. The third letter is written by someone else and is undated. This letter opens, \"I almost stand alone now most every person has died that was grown when I first came to Ky. children who were small are now grandfathers or mothers.\" Later the author writes, \"What do you think of the political situation \u0026 do you think the South will ever shake off the yoke of the present government? Every thing looks glommy.\" The letter continues to describ Grant and martial law. Later, the author writes, \"This is a poor mis-erable world we live in dear Brother do let us try to get to a better.\"","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

Mick's letters to Flora contain vivid prose and descriptions, with one such example, \"those whose hearts have been passion-tossed till the very desolation of shipwreck itself is a kind of relief -- they only can know the inestimable worth of genuine love and truthfulness.\"","In Correspondences, 1871, there are seven letters from different individuals to Flora. Some letters include additional handwriting in pencil on them. One letter addressed to Flora details the writer, Henry's, recent experiences and items sent in the mail, along with the message, \"I have caught the quilt fever and you can help me partially to recover from it by sending as your portion of th emedicine one square. Please ask Mis Hal, Mis Julia, \u0026 Miss Attie if they will not also help to cure their friend as he is very very ill, the size of square.\" The papers also include pencil writing from Flora as a response to the letter, and she writes, \"I am always sorry to hear of any of my Friends hav-ing the fever, but as I do not consider your case a serious one ... we will each take pleasure in aiding your recovery.\" Her response also describes how a neighbor arrived to their home and told them of a dead body by their gate, and her \"Pa and the Boys\" went to investigate. The letters show the sense of humor between Flora and Henry. Another letter from Camille Baker expresses her concern for Flora that her flowers died, and she asks, \"Why didn't your sisters wat-er them for you?\"","In Correspondences, 1872, there are eleven letters. One letter from a family member explains the details of Flora coming to visit in Washington D.C., and the writer explains that she will keep \"busy sight-seeing as long as you choose to remain here.\" A letter from around half a month later asks if Flora still planned to visit as they had not heard anything, and Camille Baker was \"overjoyed\" to see her cousin. Another letter to Flora explains the death of her cousin's young son, and Flora wrote a response in pencil along the paper. One letter discusses turkeys and the price of them in Washington, D.C., and her cousin Mick using details like \"the perfect healthfulness of the Mr. Gobbler\" when describing the turkeys to Flora. Along with this, the folder includes a letter written to Flora's sister, Julia.","In Correspondences, 1873, there are three letters all from Flora's brother Will. He explains \"how much pleasure a letter from home affords\" him whenever he receives a letter from her. He asks quite a few questions about a pair of pants and where to send them.","In Correspondences, Unknown Year, there are eight letters. One letter includes a piece of polkadot cloth. One letter is sent to Lizzie Baker, but does not state the sender of the letter. Another is sent to \"Ma\" but also does not include the name of the sender. Flora's writing features again on a letter to her from Susan, and she responds in pencil. Some letters come from Joe Hiett requesting her to write to him soon. One letter explains the person's daily life along with how \"the Chickens and they will not lay eggs.\" Because the letters do not contain a year, they follow a pattern by the month written on them.","In Flora's Correspondences, 1869, there are seven letters written by Flora. One letter from Flora is sent to \"My almost Bro\" where she requests him to come visit her soon. One letter to Joe describes her time at a cemetery and the beauty of it. Throughout the entire letter, she responds to different letters he sent her over time. At the end, she explains that she will now wait for his next one. Another letter to Joe includes her writing along the margins and at the top of the paper. One letter to Joe opens by discussing his fever and chills, and she describes a girl she knew who died from fever and chills, and she writes, \"remember she was but a girl and boys do not mind what hurts girls.\" Two letters to Joe are very faded, but legible.","In Flora's Fragments, undated, there are three pieces of paper written by Flora, although they do not contain the entire letter. One is a torn piece of paper. Another fragment includes a message asking for a sack pattern, and Flora writes in pencil on the paper. It does not seem like she responds to the sack patten message, but rather a different letter. Another piece includes a P.S. section where she discusses how she often writes long letters, the \"hedge fever\" going around as people worry about their hedges, and a fever that she is still recovering from. She ends her letter by saying, \"I've a crow to pick with you.\"","In Unknown Relations Correspondences, there are three letters to and from individuals whose relationships to Flora are unknown. One letter is from 1854 describing recent trips and visits with family members, from one brother to another. Another letter is from 1878 between the brothers again. The third letter is written by someone else and is undated. This letter opens, \"I almost stand alone now most every person has died that was grown when I first came to Ky. children who were small are now grandfathers or mothers.\" Later the author writes, \"What do you think of the political situation \u0026 do you think the South will ever shake off the yoke of the present government? Every thing looks glommy.\" The letter continues to describ Grant and martial law. Later, the author writes, \"This is a poor mis-erable world we live in dear Brother do let us try to get to a better.\""],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright status of this collection is unknown.

The third series consists of personal papers from Henry C. Wysor and his son Henry Wysor. There are two handwritten agreements between Henry C. Wysor and others. Henry C. Wysor Writings contains letters written by him and short stories. His personal invoices and receipts are also included in this series.","In Series I: Personal Correspondence, there are three subseries of correspondence. These letters contain details that are personal to the family members, rather than focusing on the business endeavors of Henry C. Wysor.","The collection contains many letters addressed to Henry C. Wysor from his wife, sons while they attended Virginia Tech, his daughter Mary S. Wysor, family members, and friends. Some letters briefly discuss business and job opportunities, such as one letter explaining, \"I have secured a job with Mr. Janney in the Wells Branch Coal Co. 3 miles above Dunlow [West Virginia].\" Others discuss family health concerns, such as \"Mary's illness. I know you are anxious about her. She will soon be her usual self.\" Another letter contains information on Henry purchasing a train ticket with Southern Railway Company. He also received letters from his son Henry Wysor who worked as a prfoessor at Lafayettel College in Easton, Pennsylvania. One letter discusses the apple orchard, and he inquires about \"the news in last nights and todays papers of the Hillsville affair. Judge Massie is the only one of the victims whose name I recognize as one of our old citizens of Pulaski. I trust ... speedy arrest and punishments of these murderers.\" Later letters inform from Henry to his father discuss how his children Henry and Elizabeth have the whooping cough.","There are many letters addressed to Mary E. Wysor, or Mrs. Henry C. Wysor. Many of these come from her children. Many letters arrive from her son Henry Wysor in Duquesne, Pennsylvania. She often received letters from her husband during his travels. With one letter, he included a short story titled, \"Little Corners.\" Throughout 1905, she received many letters from Henry during his travels, and he sent newspaper clippings to her. The subseries includes a wedding invitation and a graduation invitation.","The daughter Mary S. Wysor received letters over the years. She often received letters from friends around the Pulaski area and from her brothers. Her brothers addressed her as \"Sitta.\" One of her brother's letters discusses their father's apple orchard business where he explains how someone purchased the apples but did not have enough for apple butter.","In Series II: Business Papers, there are papers related to Henry C. Wysor's apple orchard business and life insurance branch business. The apple orchard business contains correspondences and individual ledger papers. Correspondences relate to the harvesting, seasons, and details of the orchard. The life insurance branch was part the New York Life Insurance Company, and Henry C. Wysor had a branch in southwestern Virginia. Many correspondences relate to policy payments and loans. Other correspondences discuss policy applicants for branch. Others discuss the policy options and promote the policies to individuals considering the work.","In Series III: Personal Papers, there are multiple types of papers such as handwritten agreements, short stories, and invoices. One agreement is between Henry C. Wysor and James M. Miller, and the other between Henry C. Wysor, James M. Miller, John B. Baskerville, and George W. Wysor. Henry Wysor wrote an outline for one of his classes at Virginia Tech. Henry C. Wysor's writings are placed together, including letters he wrote and short stories. Both of his short stories relate to the Bible. Some letters are written for his children and family, rather than individual family members which is why they are located with henry C. Wysor's writings. The invoices and receipts deal with his personal purchases.","Box 5 also contains the original collection notes with brief 1-2 sentence descriptions of majority of the letters. Print outs from ancestry.com are also found in this folder."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eItems in this collection are largely in the public domain, but individual items may be subject to copyright restrictions.
