Papers Relating to Henry Carvill and Julia F. Lewis

The bulk of this series consists of letters written by Julia and addressed to John Frederick Lewis who handled Julia's business affairs, the estate of Henry Carvill Lewis, and oversaw the renting, maintenance and sale of Julia's house in Germantown, Pennsylvania. These letters were written during the period of Julia's widowhood, when Julia and her daughter, Gwen, lived in Heidelburg, Germany. Letters and documents relating to Henry's estate are intermixed chronologically with Julia's correspondence, since financial and legal matters are often the subject of her letters. Julia's correspondence ends abruptly.
