Items with no date and items with an identified month and day but no year are listed as \"undated\".","A fragment of a love poem written in what appears to be James Lee's hand. Presumably addressed to Louisa Bellett. No date.","The family papers of Corie Lynn Dorset Rivers include over 140 separate letters and other manuscript documents handed down to Rivers by her mother, Corie Lynn Slater Dorset. This collection includes papers written by several generation of Williamsburg, Virginia residents, including Lucy Ludwell Paradise; James and Louisa Bellett Lee and family; and Virginia Lee and Parkes Slater and family.","Series One consists of the oldest item in this collection, a ledger or commonplace book originally kept by Lucy Ludwell Paradise, dated 1805 inside the front cover. This ledger was perhaps also used in some capacity by James Lee, whose name appears on the front outside cover of the book, and then his daughter Virginia Helena Lee Slater, whose signature appears on several pages on pasted-in clippings. Lucy Ludwell Paradise lived in the historic Williamsburg Ludwell-Paradise home until 1812. In 1816, James Lee purchased the house. ","The clippings and other materials integrated into the leger book or saved between its pages may come from throughout the nineteenth century, but most seem most likely to date from the second half of the century. Since almost all of the pages of the original ledger book are covered by clippings, most original written text, if any, is not visible. However, on at least two pages, portions of accounting entries made by Lucy Ludwell Paradise are visible.","Series Two is composed of letters to and from members of the James Lee family, including correspondence with the Teagle family, also of Williamsburg, Virginia. The Lee and the Teagle families were related through the mothers of each family, Louisa Bellett Lee and Susan Bellet Teagle, who were sisters. This series contains documents relating to management of the estate of Edward Teagle. Also included in this series are academic essays written by Philip Ludwell Lee, son of James and Louisa Lee, from when he was a student at William \u0026 Mary in the 1830s.","Series Three includes papers relating to Virginia Lee Slater's family. Virginia Slater, daughter of James and Louisa Lee, likely gave her family papers to Corie Lynn Slater Dorset, who in turn passed them on to her daughter, Corie Lynn Dorset Rivers. Included in this series are family letters, a Civil War-era loyalty oath, and a letter from an enslaved individual owned by the Slater family.","Series Four contains miscellaneous handwritten letter fragments, often undated or missing a sender and recipient name. Series Five collects photographs and personal artifacts relating to Corie Lynn Dorset Rivers.","The majority of items in this collection, particularly letters and other written documents, are individually described on an item-level in this finding aid. ","Researchers should note that the ledger book and many letters are fragile and may require extra assistance from SCRC staff to read them.","A ledger book containing Lucy Ludwell Paradise's dated notes and signature. This ledger was perhaps also used in some capacity by James Lee, whose name appears on the front outside cover of the book, and then his daughter Virginia Lee Slater, whose signatures (both Virginia H. Lee and Virginia Lee Slater) appear on several pages on pasted in clippings, not on the original pages. The clippings and other materials integrated into the book or saved between its pages may come from throughout the nineteenth century, but most seem most likely to date from the second half of the century. ","Since almost all of the pages of the original ledger book are covered with glued-in clippings, most original written text, if any, is not visible. However, on at least two pages are portions of accounting entries made by Lucy Ludwell Paradise. Those fragments appear at the top of the original pages and are oriented so they match the orientation of Lucy's statement and signature on the inside front cover. When the book was turned into a place to paste clippings, the book was turned over so that the front became the back and most underlying text was upside down. The earliest entry of internal text seems to be Lucy's record of paying rent to Col. Henry [Shipworth] while she still lived in London. The entry begins a list of her payments to Shipworth for the years 1801 and 1802. Each of these entries indicates that her rental agreement expired on December 14, 1805. The rest of the list is covered by pasted-in articles. On another page are entries in a list of payments that are dated 1805 and 1806. This list was perhaps also written by Lucy Ludwell Paradise. ","On two separate pages appear the signatures \"Virginia H. Lee\" and \"Virginia Lee Slater,\" suggesting that Virginia Slater was using the ledger book before and after her marriage. A signature of her father, James Lee (\"Jas. Lee\"), also appears on one of these pages. All of the signatures by Virginia and James appear to have been written elsewhere and then cut out and pasted in the book. ","Also pasted into the ledger book is a resolution of \"students Wm \u0026 Mary College\" specifying how they planned to honor their recently deceased classmate, Philip Ludwell Lee, James Lee's son and Virginia Lee Slater's brother. The undated document was signed by the students elected President and Secretary for this purpose and given to Philip's father. Subsequently, someone pasted it into this ledger book.

Addressed to Clarke in \"York Town,\" Virginia. A page of this letter seems to be missing from the collection.","A letter, dated October 5, 1814, from James Lee to James Clarke in Norfolk, Virginia. Lee apologizes for failing to answer Clarke's previous letters because of a \"long and painful indisposition.\" He refers to the death of a young woman, Eliza, who may have been Clarke's girlfriend. Lee writes of his lack of money because \"Dunfey\" has been able to collect little tax money for the 65th regiment. He writes that \"Hadgron\" has been chosen to administer a Mr. Caradin's estate. There is also a reference to \"Campbell,\" who \"was sent to the Penetentiary for 5 years.\" Lee says he and Louisa are to be married on October 22.","A letter, dated October 5, 1814, addressed to James Clarke in Norfolk, Virginia from Louisa Charlotte Bellett in Williamsburg, Virginia. Louisa refers to a young woman who died, \"Betsy,\" and expresses her support and encouragement for Clarke.","A letter, date October 14, 1814, addressed to James Clarke in Norfolk, Virginia from James Lee in Williamsburg, Virginia. Lee writes about court proceedings concerning Clarke. He refers to \"Mr Murdough\" attending a court martial near Richmond of Majors Corbin and Griffin for signing a petition requesting the resignation of Colonel Bassett from his commission for not having the military abilities to command the regiment. Lee also conveys that his wedding is postponed until end of month or early next.  He asks for knives and forks from Norfolk.","A letter, date October 21, 1814, addressed to James Clarke in Norfolk, Virginia from James Lee. Lee writes with a mix of business information and personal news. He thanks Clarke for his support and help and apologizes for not being able to help Clarke as quickly and as well. Lee then enumerates where affairs stand with several people who owe Clarke money or have business with him. Lee sends Clarke Louisa's regards. He mentions Betsy, a friend of Louisa's who was engaged to Clarke but died unexpectedly.","A letter, date October 30, 1814, addressed to James Clarke in Norfolk, Virginia from James Lee. Lee complains of ague and fever, but he nevertheless plans to marry \"Saturday next\" and expects Clarke to attend.","Legal document, dated July 1, 1824, serving as a witness statement that Thomas Trice, then guardian of George W.

Although the recipient of the letter is not named, references in the message suggest that they are friend of James Lee in Williamsburg.

Dated September 23, 1829.","A letter, dated December 2, 1829, from Susan Teagle, Williamsburg, Virginia, addressed to her son Edwin August Teagle, Portsmouth, Virginia. Susan's letter to Edwin contains news of many people, but she writes mainly about Edwin's father, who she describes as \"perfectly deranged in mind.\" Susan wants Edwin to visit her in Williamsburg, and advises him to come by way of Hampton, not Jamestown.","A letter, dated March 1, 1830, from Susan Teagle, Williamsburg, Virginia, addressed to her son Edwin August Teagle, Portsmouth, Virginia. Susan complains of a severe cough that she fears will turn into \"consumption.\" She writes that other family members are well, and she tells Edwin that his friend William Sands will be visiting Edwin on this way to New Orleans. She comments on the scarcity and price of butter.","A letter, dated May 27, 1830, from James Lee, Williamsburg, Virginia, addressed to Susan Teagle, Portsmouth, Virginia. Lee says that he is pleased to hear she arrived in Portsmouth safely. He writes that the \"Hustings Court of Williamsburg\" met yesterday but did not deal with the estate of Mr. Teagle, so things will remain the same at least until the June court session. Lee reports that Susan's household affairs are managed well by Miss Margaret, and he affirms that he will continue to be a father to her \"fatherless children.\"","A letter, dated May 29, 1830, from Susan Teagle to \"My Dear Sister,\" presumably Louisa Bellett Lee.

She relays the news that Richard Bowden, the recently appointed Post Master in Williamsburg, is suspected of stealing mail, and utilizes Bowden's mother's anguish as a moral lesson for Edwin.","A letter, dated July 25, 1831, from James Lee, Williamsburg, Virginia, to his wife Louisa Lee, Hampton, Virginia.

This ledger was perhaps also used in some capacity by James Lee, whose name appears on the front outside cover of the book, and then his daughter Virginia Helena Lee Slater, whose signature appears on several pages on pasted-in clippings.

The Lee and the Teagle families were related through the mothers of each family, Louisa Bellett Lee and Susan Bellet Teagle, who were sisters. This series contains documents relating to management of the estate of Edward Teagle.

James fears that if Emeline \"is brought up contrary to her inclination, she would live but a very little while—should she die in Norfolk (which God forbid) we must do the best we can with her sacred remains.\" James mentions grapes being sent to Emeline by Captain Chapman who will deliver them to Mr. March.

This ledger was perhaps also used in some capacity by James Lee, whose name appears on the front outside cover of the book, and then his daughter Virginia Helena Lee Slater, whose signature appears on several pages on pasted-in clippings. Lucy Ludwell Paradise lived in the historic Williamsburg Ludwell-Paradise home until 1812. In 1816, James Lee purchased the house. ","The clippings and other materials integrated into the leger book or saved between its pages may come from throughout the nineteenth century, but most seem most likely to date from the second half of the century.

The Lee and the Teagle families were related through the mothers of each family, Louisa Bellett Lee and Susan Bellet Teagle, who were sisters. This series contains documents relating to management of the estate of Edward Teagle. Also included in this series are academic essays written by Philip Ludwell Lee, son of James and Louisa Lee, from when he was a student at William \u0026 Mary in the 1830s.","Series Three includes papers relating to Virginia Lee Slater's family. Virginia Slater, daughter of James and Louisa Lee, likely gave her family papers to Corie Lynn Slater Dorset, who in turn passed them on to her daughter, Corie Lynn Dorset Rivers. Included in this series are family letters, a Civil War-era loyalty oath, and a letter from an enslaved individual owned by the Slater family.","Series Four contains miscellaneous handwritten letter fragments, often undated or missing a sender and recipient name.

James fears that if Emeline \"is brought up contrary to her inclination, she would live but a very little while—should she die in Norfolk (which God forbid) we must do the best we can with her sacred remains.\" James mentions grapes being sent to Emeline by Captain Chapman who will deliver them to Mr. March.

This collection includes papers written by several generation of Williamsburg, Virginia residents, including Lucy Ludwell Paradise; James and Louisa Bellett Lee and family; and Virginia Lee and Parkes Slater and family.","Series One consists of the oldest item in this collection, a ledger or commonplace book originally kept by Lucy Ludwell Paradise, dated 1805 inside the front cover. This ledger was perhaps also used in some capacity by James Lee, whose name appears on the front outside cover of the book, and then his daughter Virginia Helena Lee Slater, whose signature appears on several pages on pasted-in clippings. Lucy Ludwell Paradise lived in the historic Williamsburg Ludwell-Paradise home until 1812. In 1816, James Lee purchased the house. ","The clippings and other materials integrated into the leger book or saved between its pages may come from throughout the nineteenth century, but most seem most likely to date from the second half of the century. Since almost all of the pages of the original ledger book are covered by clippings, most original written text, if any, is not visible. However, on at least two pages, portions of accounting entries made by Lucy Ludwell Paradise are visible.","Series Two is composed of letters to and from members of the James Lee family, including correspondence with the Teagle family, also of Williamsburg, Virginia. The Lee and the Teagle families were related through the mothers of each family, Louisa Bellett Lee and Susan Bellet Teagle, who were sisters. This series contains documents relating to management of the estate of Edward Teagle. Also included in this series are academic essays written by Philip Ludwell Lee, son of James and Louisa Lee, from when he was a student at William \u0026 Mary in the 1830s.","Series Three includes papers relating to Virginia Lee Slater's family. Virginia Slater, daughter of James and Louisa Lee, likely gave her family papers to Corie Lynn Slater Dorset, who in turn passed them on to her daughter, Corie Lynn Dorset Rivers. Included in this series are family letters, a Civil War-era loyalty oath, and a letter from an enslaved individual owned by the Slater family.","Series Four contains miscellaneous handwritten letter fragments, often undated or missing a sender and recipient name.

When the book was turned into a place to paste clippings, the book was turned over so that the front became the back and most underlying text was upside down. The earliest entry of internal text seems to be Lucy's record of paying rent to Col. Henry [Shipworth] while she still lived in London. The entry begins a list of her payments to Shipworth for the years 1801 and 1802. Each of these entries indicates that her rental agreement expired on December 14, 1805. The rest of the list is covered by pasted-in articles. On another page are entries in a list of payments that are dated 1805 and 1806. This list was perhaps also written by Lucy Ludwell Paradise. ","On two separate pages appear the signatures \"Virginia H. Lee\" and \"Virginia Lee Slater,\" suggesting that Virginia Slater was using the ledger book before and after her marriage. A signature of her father, James Lee (\"Jas. Lee\"), also appears on one of these pages.

","Also pasted into the ledger book is a resolution of \"students Wm \u0026 Mary College\" specifying how they planned to honor their recently deceased classmate, Philip Ludwell Lee, James Lee's son and Virginia Lee Slater's brother.

When the book was turned into a place to paste clippings, the book was turned over so that the front became the back and most underlying text was upside down. The earliest entry of internal text seems to be Lucy's record of paying rent to Col. Henry Shipworth (?) while she still lived in London. The entry begins a list of her payments to Shipworth for the years 1801 and 1802. Each of these entries indicates that her rental agreement expired on December 14, 1805. The rest of the list is covered by pasted-in articles. On another page are entries in a list of payments that are dated 1805 and 1806. This list was perhaps also written by Lucy Ludwell Paradise. ","On two separate pages appear the signatures \"Virginia H. Lee\" and \"Virginia Lee Slater,\" indicating that Virginia Slater was using the ledger book before and after her marriage to Parkes Slater. A signature of her father, James Lee (\"Jas.
