Undated letters written by Mary Haldane Begg Coleman, the wife George P. Coleman of Williamsburg, Virginia. Some letters talk about the disposition of the family papers to Swem Library, College of William and Mary. Other letters are family news about children, travels and the Tucker House. From a December 21st letter, she writes, "so I decided to write you and tell you how much we are thinking of you and the children and grandchildren and of the love we've always had for you for so many earlier generations. The Cliff and the ...constantly on my mind and all the happiness that our lives held from almost my earliest remembrance....all those houses have faded out of our lives, but the close affection only grows stronger as the years pass." Other letters show that Mary Coleman was helping with the tuition of Frances Bland, the daugher of Frances and Flemings. Frances Bland lived in the Tucker House in Williamsburg while at school.
