    <abstract id="aspace_8066efab5ccd62b2f826d6398da0c594">Correspondence, legal papers, photographs and genealogical records of the Putney-Reed family. The letters, which were exchanged between family members in California, Iowa and Kanawha Salines, West Virginia, primarily concern family affairs. There are also thirty-seven letters, 1858 - 1862, written by Emily Reed a student at the Woodburn Female Seminary in Morgantown, Virginia (later West Virginia), to her family describing student life, particularly the curriculum and her efforts to promote Christianity.</abstract>
