A few letters relate events in the Civil\n War. An October 17, 1861 letter speaks of an overcoat factory\n founded by \n Stauntonwomen. In a letter to \n Maggie Cochran(July 1, 1862) the victory\n over McClellan at \n Frasyers Farmis described.

The letter of September 7, 1857\n mentions the status of their business operations. An\n interesting letter (June 27, 1848) gives a view of slavery and\n abolitionists. \n Nannie Cochran's death and its effects is\n mentioned in August 20, 1863.","Letters between \n Howe Peyton Cochranand his mother \n Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochranare about\n personal affairs and the Civil War. The early letters concern \n Howe Peyton Cochran's attendance of the \n Hanover Academywhere he was very bored\n and often homesick except when he traveled to \n Richmond. Some interesting Civil War\n letters are July 27, Sept 5, 14, \u0026 20, 1861. \n Howe Peyton Cochranleft the active\n service when a substitute was bought for him (May 23, 1862).

(Carrington) Cochran(married\n December 18, 1860), written during the Civil War, are chiefly\n personal in nature but many contain a little information about\n the war. Some of the more important letters are as follows.\n His letter of January 5, 1861 describes the commanding\n officers of \n Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment ( \n 1st regiment Virginia Artillery) which\n included General Magruder, Colonels Sulakowski, \n Tom Cobb, \n Howell Cobb, Montagne, Ward, and Major\n Brown. Letters of December 8, 11, 13, \u0026 16 detail\n preparations for an attack that never occurred. Letters of\n February 24, 25 discuss the problems in the company and an\n expedition that did not start. The letters of March 1862 also\n give the problems of the company and preparations for a large\n battle near \n Yorktown. The letters of April 1862\n contain references to the skirmishes occurring at \n Yorktown. The letters of May 9 and 14,\n 1862 gives a sketch of the battle of \n Williamsburgwhich \n Howe Peyton Cochran's regiment did not\n participate in. Nearly every letter also contains a plan to\n get out of the service or at least out of his present company\n and into an office job: Some of the schemes include becoming a\n teacher at \n Randolph Macon, becoming a clerk in the\n war department, or joining his brother \n James Cochran's unit. A son ( \n Campbell Carrington Cochran, named for \n Nannie Cochran's brother who died during\n the war) was born on July 31, 1863, and \n Nannie Cochrandied, apparently as a\n result of complications from childbirth, on August 11,\n 1863.","Joseph D. Cochran's application for a \n University of Missourichemistry chair\n mentions his teachers (August 8, 1890) while at the \n University of Virginiaand \n College of Richmond. The letter of August\n 21, 1890 states he received references from Professors \n [John William] Mallet, \n [Francis Perry] Dunnington, \n [George Frederick] Holmes, and \n [Ormond] Stoneof the \n University of Virginia, Professor Puryear\n of the \n College of Richmond, and his present\n congressman \n [Henry St. George] Tucker.","In Letters to \n Campbell Carrington Cochran, two stirring\n accounts of the virtue of \n Nannie Cochranand her death are given on\n the first birthday of \n Campbell Carrington Cochran, July 31,\n 1864.","In Letters to \n Henry Cochranfamily affairs are\n discussed. An October 11, 1862 letter mentions prices of basic\n foods and how the state is covered with blood, \"Turn whichever\n way you may nothing meets your eye, but maimed and bleeding\n soldiers.\" A January 15, 1863 letter mentions the death of \n Maggie Cochranfrom Typhoid Fever and\n pneumonia. On March 18, 1863, there is a reference to the\n battle of \n Culpepper. A March 31, 1863 letter\n mentions houses and hospitals being destroyed to use the wood\n for fuel. An April 16, 1863 letter mentions the prices of\n food.","Letters to \n Howe Peyton Cochrancontain more letters\n about family affairs.

Cochraninclude correspondence\n between their sons \n John L. Cochran, \n Joseph D. Cochran, and daughter \n Anne Cochranwho went to \n Gainesville, Floridabecause of \n John Cochran's ill health in 1886. The\n letters give the progression of \n John Cochran's sickness which did not\n improve substantially and eventually caused his death in\n February 1887 after his return to \n Staunton.","Letters to \n John Cochrancontains an interesting\n letter (February 17, 1830) on the price and selling of\n hogs.","Letters to \n Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochrancontain\n letters from her brother \n Thomas Preston Lewiswho served with the \n War Departmentin the 1850's.

The letter\n of June 10, 1861 is from \n John Lewis Cochranand contains very\n interesting Civil War information, including the Union's\n treatment of prisoners.","The letters to \n Thomas Preston Lewishave been removed\n from a letter book containing mostly business letters. There\n is an index which has been placed at the back of the second\n folder. \n Thomas Preston Lewisreceived the right to\n practice law in \n Virginiaon September 3, 1847. He received\n appointments in the \n census bureau(October 8, 1850 -#48), and\n later the \n War Departmentbased on recommendations by\n Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart(November 15,\n 1850.) \n Thomas Preston Lewis' ancestors fought in\n the battle of \n Point Pleasantand an attempt had been\n made to have that battle declared the first of the\n revolutionary war (August 24, 1858 -#1). A no date letter (#8)\n contains an inventory of debts \n Thomas Preston Lewishas at a store and\n gives prices. Letters of December 29, 1853 (#16 and #20) are\n introduction letters written by \n John Buchanan Floyd. October 21, 1851\n (#48) is a letter from \n William Sparrow. March 6, 1866 (#159)\n states that \n Thomas Preston Lewislost all land in the\n war and is now broke. Letters of February 14, 1866 (#161),\n January 21, 1867 (#162) concern \n Thomas Preston Lewistrying to collect on\n his debts. \n Thomas Preston Lewisattempted to have his\n political disability resulting from service with the\n confederacy removed (February 25, 1869 -#166, January 24, 1870\n -#174, January 29, 1870 -#175.) Apparently this attempt was\n successful because \n Thomas Preston Lewisreceived help from \n John F. Lewisin getting an appointment\n (October 6, 1869 -#169, March 29, 1870 -#183.) \n John F. Lewishad assisted \n Thomas Preston Lewisbefore getting him\n appointed as an assistant to the registrar in 1867 (September\n 28, 1867 -#189.) December 23, 1869 (#168) is from \n B. F. Ballardand mentions that he will\n call for a new \n West Virginiaconstitution. Three letters\n concern the sale of land held in \n Iowawhich \n Thomas Preston Lewisgot from his debt\n collection (July 13, 1869 -#171, May 12, 1868 -#173, and July\n 25, 1869 -#174.) An item dated April 20, 1871 (#180) is a\n notice placed by \n Thomas Preston Lewisto bring all claims\n for the pensions of veterans of the War of 1812. An August 21,\n 1871 (#196) letter contains an analysis of \n Rawley Springsin \n Rockingham County, Virginia. Letters of\n December 7, 1870 (#204,) February 4, 1873 (#204,) and December\n 18, 1874 (#206) refer to \n Thomas Preston Lewisstarting and running\n a school for boys. The school must not have been too\n successful because the letters of November 12, 1873 and\n December 1874 (both #207) mention relatives sending what money\n they can to \n Thomas Preston Lewis. On September 10,\n 1874 (#209) there is an interesting letter on the \n Floridaschool system.","Letters to \n Ann M. Peytonfrom her sister \n Margaret Lynn (Lewis) Cochranmention the \n Cochran family's move from \n Stauntonto \n Charlottesville(October 24, 1826.) A\n letter in June 1836 mentions the death of their sister\n Mary.","Letters to \n Joseph Smithcontain many applications for\n loans. \n Joseph Smithserved in the \n General Assemblyfrom December 1, 1817 to\n February 26, 1818 (December 2, 1817.) There is a letter dated\n January 26, 1832 from \n R. S. Brookewhich concerns the debate in\n the \n General Assemblyover slavery and the\n conflict abolition has with personal property and\n compensation. An item of January 13, 1860 values the land held\n by \n Joseph Smithto be $74,900.","Letters to \n Joseph Smithfrom \n William Widdifieldare mainly concerned\n with the collection of a debt from \n David Paul Brown.

The letters from Dr. \n Blanche Rosalie Slaughter Morton , a\n graduate of the \n Women's Medical College of\n Pennsylvania (1897) and practicing surgeon, form one\n of the most interesting sections of this correspondence.
