Eugene Blackford Family Correspondence, 1862 - 1876

Correspondence after the war is largely between Eugene and his mother. He describes his life in Pikesville, Md. and she discusses life at the Episcopal High School of Virginia where she was living with another son. Her letters contain observations on Episcopal church policy and theology especially the need to purge the church of Catholic tendencies. This box also contains occasional letters to Eugene from brothers Launcelot M., William W., Charles, and [UNK]. Lewis Blackford, and his sister Mary B. Cooke.
