A collection, evidently incomplete, of ca. 340 letters, 1882-1903, to David Quin Eggleston , 1857-1909, an attorney of Smithville, Charlotte County, Virginia . He was active in the Democratic Party, and senator for Charlotte and Mecklenburg counties from 1897-1900, then delegate from those counties to the Constitutional Convention of 1901-1902. He was a member of the State Central Committee in 1899, and Secretary of the Commonwealth in 1901. The letters of 1882-1883 are all personal correspondence, while those of 1885 and later pertain to legal business, or occasionally, to political matters. The only eminent correspondent was Carter Glass .
