These letters, though primarily from Charles Langdon Williams to family while he was traveling to southern climes for his health in 1859-60, also cover earlier and later years in the family. Genealogy seems to have been of continuing interest, as is shown in correspondence to Charles Kilborn Williams the elder and the younger. The fact that two brothers (Charles Langdon and Chauncey Kilborn) married two sisters (Louisa and Alexina Bedell) goes some way to explaining Charles' obviously distressed response to Alexina written only three days after his wife's death. There is one sympathy letter following Charles' death in 1861 written to his mother. The 1817 letters to Lucy Green Langdon are the earliest, followed by a few letters to the Governor in the 1940s about genealogy, evidently in answer to questions posed by him. The copy of the probate of the will of the late Governor is dated 1854.
