Personal Correspondence with Family and Friends

S3-1/7: This folder contains the following documents,

  • A - Letter from [A.?] Johnstone to "Miss Burns." Social letter with references to Arizona and Westward ho! Movement; awareness of world events; advocates "outdoor exercise." [light copy; difficult to read] Handwritten, 1 leaf, 4 pages, 10 July 1880.
  • B - Letter from "Ben" to "Mousey." Personal letter between an uncle and niece (possibly Burns' daughter?)-notation in another's handwriting that it was written by Ben Atkinson. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 13 July 1880.
  • C - Letter from A. Johnstone to "Miss Burns." The letter is of a general nature and discusses the weather in Washington and the area of Wilmington at the time. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 10 September 1881.
  • D - Letter (possibly from Burns' daughter or daughter-in-law) to their children. This letter is written in an unusual printed case probably intended for reading ease by children and is a farewell note in advance of a trip she and her husband were about to take. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 23 July 1890.
  • E - Letter from "Grand Papa" to "Burns & Sweet Pau-line." The letter apparently from General Burns to his (grand?) children, written in the printed case that his wife used (possibly she wrote it for him) from a hotel in New York. Letter thanks them for a letter and sends best wishes. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 9 November 1890.
  • F - Letter from "Grand Papa" to "My Dear Grand Boy." A get well note to his grandson and message to the mother of the child also. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 2 May 1891.
  • G - Message from A. B. Hancock to Burns. Difficult to read the message on a black-bordered calling card. Handwritten (3 in X 3 in card), 1 leaf, 2 sides, 12 July 1889.
  • H - Message (fragment) to Burns. This is the same type of stationery as in item 4/7 but it is unsigned. The message is incomplete. Handwritten, 1 leaf (4 in X 6 in card), 2 sides, 5 September 1887.
  • I - Message from [Ellen? Nellie?] M. McClellan to Burns. The message is written on black-bordered cards like items 4/7 and 4/8. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 23 March [1887?].
  • J - Note from Burns to "Grand Boy." Small block-print note sympathizing with the child having the measles. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 3 pages, 1 May 1891.
  • K - Letter from young Burns to "My dear grand-pa." The letter expresses that it is his first day out of bed in a week. Reverse side has a note from "Mama" discusses a gift for her son and mentions that perhaps Burns could find a "Sibley Tent" where he was. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 5 May 1891.
  • L - Letter from Burns to "Grand-Boy." Script letter from Burns acknowledging receipt of two letters and complimenting the child's improving reading ability. Apparently the child asks about getting a Sibley Tent and Burns says it is an "impossibility" as none has been made for "twenty-five years" other than one for the World's Fair at Philadelphia. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 7 May 1891.
  • M - Letter from Burns to "My Darling Mab." This letter, it seems, is written to his daughter (or sister?) and concerns her suitor who is pushing for marriage. Handwritten, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 22 November 1891.
  • N - Letter from L. Burns Magruder to "Grand-Pa." Short letter from the grandchild about rain, but with a sentence asking for a picture of the tent. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 1 page, 7 December 1891.
  • O - Letter from L. Burns Magruder to "My dear Grand-pa." The child's note describes illnesses in the family. Mentions his mother having the "grippe" and "Frawline" then goes on to mention that "Nana keeps well and sends her love." Is it possible that Burns' wife lived with her daughter separate from Burns? The letter also mentions that the child is sad "we didn't have a war with Chili." Handwritten, 2 leaves, 2 pages, 14 February 1892.
  • P - Letter from Burns to "Grand-Boy." The letter mentions that he is glad the child did not have whooping cough and then stresses the importance of reading and education. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 1 page, 10 March 1892.
  • Q - Letter from [T?] W. Willett to "Miss Burns." This is a very ambiguous letter that expresses sympathy for her loss and the writer mentions attending a funeral but the deceased is not named. The letter is two-part and the second part refers to some real estate in South Carolina but it is hard to discern whether she is wishing to sell or buy and has sought his advice in the potential transaction. Handwritten, 2 leaves, 3 pages, 30 April 1892.
  • R - Letter from Burns to "Dear Grand-Boy." Block-print note about the measles. Perhaps the date is written in error? One might refer to the letter item 4/10 and compare the context and writing in later letters. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 5 May 1892 (1891?).

S3-1/8: This folder contains the following documents,

  • A - Letter from B. L. Prince to "Miss Mab. Burns." Love letter. Handwritten, 3 leaves, 3 pages, 19 October 1892.
  • B - Letters from F. Montgomery to Mrs. Burns. The first of two letters mailed together expresses sympathy for the death of General Burns then immediately goes into a lengthy discussion on a person beginning to develop a cotton gin. One might infer that there is an investment opportunity available. The second letter refers to a cotton gin on her island… which seems to be for sale. Handwritten, 6 leaves, 12 pages, 5 November 1892-12 November 1892.
  • C - Note from Pauline Magruder to "my dearest Brother." A personal note telling of her having a bad cold and that her mother and that she had a long letter from "mother and Mrs. Tracy." Concludes with "I have to go to chapel now." Handwritten, 2 leaves, 3 pages, 18 November 1895.
  • D - Letter from Pauline Magruder to "My dearest Auntie." A social letter from Pauline Magruder on her 13th birthday written, apparently, from the seaside. Handwritten, 2 sheets, 4 leaves, 4 pages, 24 July 1899.
    E* E - Letter from B. L. Prince to "My dear Friend." Letter discussing cattle affairs and friendship. See item 3/19 of this series. Handwritten, 3 leaves, 3 pages, September 1899.
  • F - Letter from B. L. Prince to "My dear Friend." Letter very pragmatically discusses an optimum time to marry "that is if we ever intend to marry," then discusses cattle prices. Handwritten, 3 leaves, 3 pages, 1 October 1900.
  • G - Letter from Pauline Magruder to "Taunte" (Aunt). The first half of the letter is in French; she is in France studying French. Handwritten, 2 sheets, 4 leaves, 8 pages, 25 January 1902.
  • H - Letter from B. L. Prince to "My dear Friend." Letter sounds as though this man is losing patience with the indecision on the part of the young woman. This letter gives full financial disclosure that he can "afford" to marry. Handwritten, 7 leaves, 7 pages, 13 February 1902.
  • I - Letter from L. Burns Magruder to "Dear Auntie Mab." Letter from West Point is social and tells of his fun with the other cadets in the snow. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 18 February 1902.

  • L - Letter from "L. Burns Magruder" to "My dear Auntie Mab." Note from West Point refers to the Christmas gift she sent and asks why "Nana" doesn't write. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages. 29 December 1902.
  • M - Letter from B. L. Prince to "My dear friend." Suitor still in pursuit of Auntie Mab; ups his financial status by saying in the letter, "I thought that $50,000. And yourself for a wife would be more than any man could wish for." Handwritten, 5 leaves, 5 pages, 18 January 1903.
  • N - Letter from L. Burns Magruder to Mabelle Burns. Note from West Point refers to a "precious burden" his mother had been carrying, the secret that Auntie Mab was getting married? He extends his congratulations saying that he "did not think [she] would take the step." Other mentions of "the sword" being lent to the West Point library for display. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages. 29 October 1902.
