[Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, 1820-1890] in Havana, Cuba to his daughter [Margaret Nimmo Tucker?]. Tucker mentions his "running the blockade" and his journey to Cuba. Describes the natural beauty of Havana, but complains of the dirty streets and people and poor service from servants. Describes many fellow Southern diplomats and consuls he has met with there, and "Northerners here are treated with no consideration at all—not one." He will soon meet with Captain General Don Francisco Serrano "quietly and privately, because although he and almost every one here, except the scoundrel Shufeldt—Lincoln's Consul—and his spies, are warmly and quietly active with us, he does not wish it to be known that his is paying attention to Southerners, lest his power to [serve] our interests should be impaired." Note on top of letter, "I address this letter to your Uncle Charles so that my name shall not appear if it should be captured." Accession Number 2008.27

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
