Nellie F. Stanley letters to Nathaniel S. Wheeler
Manuscripts
A collection of 31 autograph, signed letters; the majority written from various towns in New Hampshire. Twenty-seven of the letters were written by Nellie F. Stanley to her "sweetheart" Nathaniel S. Wheeler; all of the letters have accompanying envelopes. The letters were written from her home in Enfield, New Hampshire, to Wheeler as he moved between various army posts over a two-year period. The letters detail her life in New Hampshire, including her work as a seamstress in a shop, her opinion of colored troops, church, the local county, town social life, the weather, news of relatives and friends. She also expresses discouragement about their separation and offers to end their courtship if that is what would make him happy. The collection also includes four additional letters: one each from Wheeler's sister, Susan, his cousin Emily, Amos K. Kepner, and a friend who signs his letter "A. F. S."
