The McGregor family correspondence primarily consists of letters from Nathaniel Mortimer McGregor to his son, Roderick Mortimer McGregor, who was attending Maryland Agricultural College. McGregor also received letters from other family members including his mother Susan Euphemia Mitchell McGregor and his siblings. The bulk of these letters were written between 1860 and 1862. The correspondence suggested a tepid loyalty to the Union and a deep worry over the end of their plantation lifestyle. The family's slaves were a frequent topic of concern. In a letter dated 1861 March 9, McGregor's father reported a family slave who escaped, "George had no good clothes to go off in to Washington...I had to give him 75 lashes in about 2 hours before he let out the truth." The family also discussed the secession movement in Maryland, Peace Conference of 1861, family affairs, local and national politics. Also included are two cartes-visites of Roderick, along with his election certificate and report cards, Nathaniel's will, printed booklets, a recipe for curing meat, and three genealogical notes written after 1901. There is one newspaper clipping about Eleanor Wood at Whetsone Convalescent Center in the Columbus Dispatch printed on 1984 July 22.
