Letter book, 1847-1851, of James Manney, a physician in Beaufort, N.C. The letters reflect Manney's professional activities, his participation in various community projects and other business ventures, and his political opinions. Many items are letters-to-the-editor relating to the sectional controversy of the late 1840s and 1850, and to railroad matters. Others are to Manney's son, James Lente Manney, and concern the latter's medical education at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.
