Stoneman family letters

Manuscripts

This small group of correspondence primarily consists of 25 letters from Cornelius MacLain Stoneman's mother, Mary Oliver Hardisty, his sisters, Katherine "Kitty" and Adele, and his brother, George Stoneman. The letters concern family and social life. Stoneman's mother frequently writes about monetary issues. For instance, in a letter dated January 31, 1888, his mother writes, "Our ranch has big money in it for some of us - it is only a question of time & endurance & as we have kept it through all this time of depression, I guess we can mosey along still further..." In another letter written in 1892, Stoneman writes about suing George Stoneman, "Father cannot sue for divorce, but I can - for he has practically deserted me&" There is a letter from Francis J. Thomas to Walter Percy in Birmingham, Alabama, where he introduces Percy to Cornelius McLain Stoneman. There is also a wedding invitation for Rufus William Burnham and Marion Barnes Bennison in 1887. The letters were also accompanied with transcripts from the donor. The transcripts are located at the end of the collection in chronological order.
