Manuscripts
Five letters written by William J. Lilly in Lawrence County, Dakota Territory, to his cousins Lula E. Romney and Agnes L. Shelton in South Carolina. In the letters Lilly writes of his family's 480-acre farm and the success of their crops, of their expectations of selling mines, of Lilly's winter at Deadwood, of the difficulties in getting to the post office, and a brief history of his father's experiences since arriving in the United States. The majority of the content focuses on Lilly's interest in books, family discussions, and his affection for his cousins. Lilly's letters also include two poems on his family.
