Walpole, Thomas. 1 letter to Thomas Stutterd, A.L.S. (1 p.), (Sowerby Wharf, Yorks., Eng.)
Manuscripts
The collection consists of a small number of manuscripts, mainly dealing with religious or family subjects; the bulk of the collection is made up of correspondence between the Stutterd family members, mainly John, Thomas and his wife, Mary, and Jabez. The collection is a rich source of information about the social, economic, and religious worlds of a lower middle class extended family in the Midlands and North of England in the later 18th and early 19th centuries. There is a large group of letters to and from various Baptist ministers and church leaders, discussing church and doctrinal matters; there is also a significant group of letters dealing with the wool and woolen goods business. The Stutterd family letters are also an excellent source for subjects relating to the medical issues of the 18th century in Northern England; especially smallpox, childbirth and infant mortality, and the many and various ways people died during this time.
