Collection Overview
The collection includes family, business, and political correspondence of Thomas Settle, a Rockingham County, N.C., lawyer, legislator, and judge. Included is correspondence with his nephew, Governor David Settle Reid (1813-1891) and others prominent in public affairs in North Carolina; bills, receipts, and deeds. Topics are primarily family news but include some discussion of North Carolina politics, especially concerning Reid's re-election. Later correspondence (1878-1879) discusses travel through Florida and the economic opportunities in Jacksonville, and the training of hunting dogs.
