Parish B. Johnson letters
Manuscripts
Group of three letters written to Parish B. Johnson by his wife, Lydia J. Johnson, and a friend named James A. Waters and sent from Portland, Oregon. Lydia Johnson's letters focus on personal news regarding family and acquaintances. Her 1868 letter notes that the Columbia River has frozen over and ice skating has become a popular pastime, while her 1886 letter mentions a friend's servant, who is "a splendid Chinaman but...he is striking for more wages." The 1868 letter from Waters focuses on his travel schedule, his well-wishes for Johnson's quick recovery from illness, and that he has not had time to visit "six or seven of our Blue Mountain friends in jail here" (possibly referring to the Blue Mountain Eagle, which was published in Grant County beginning in 1868). Each letter also includes an envelope.

John T. B. McMaster ledger of the medical practice of John T. B. McMaster and John L. Hearn
Manuscripts
This bound-volume is a ledger kept by Dr. John T. B. McMaster and his partner Dr. Hearn regarding their medical visits to citizens of New Town, Worcester County, Maryland from 1850 to 1852. The doctors include name of patient (some of the time), reason for visiting, treatment, date of visit, and the fee paid to them for services. The doctors treated both whites and blacks (free blacks, fugitives and slaves). In their ledger, if the patient was black, they would write "Negro" after the patients' name (although it is expected that not every black is identified as such). The patients include a slave at Beverly, a large estate owned by John Upshur Dennis.
