Abstract
Correspondence between members of the Lorentz family of Buckhannon, Upshur County, (West) Virginia. Includes eight letters
from scattered dates between 1848 and 1857. Most of the letters were written by Mifflin Lorentz to his wife Fannie (Whitey)
Lorentz; these letters include two love letters written before their marriage (1848) and four letters written while Mifflin
was travelling on business (1848-1857). These four letters remark upon business, difficulties he had traveling, and homesickness,
among other topics. There is also a copy of a letter written by Jacob Lorentz, who was Mifflin's father, to his son Jasper
Lorentz (1856) regarding religion and family matters; and a letter to Mifflin from his friend H.W. Williams (1857) regarding
religion and mutual acquaintances.
