In this collection, Ellen Glasgow, West Cornwall, Connecticut, writes to Charles Lee Lewis, Associate English Professor at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis regarding Taylor family genealogy, the St. Memin portraits of Creed and Sarah Woodson Taylor and her mother's descent.
Contents List
Glasgow discusses the St. Memin portraits of Chancellor Creed Taylor and his wife, Sarah Woodson Taylor, that are in her drawing room; her mother, Anne Jane (Gholson) Glasgow, in relation to the Taylors; and, Taylor family genealogy.
Glasgow corrects an error in her previous letter concerning the history of her mother, Anne Jane (Gholson) Glasgow, in relation to Samuel Creed Taylor and Chancellor Creed Taylor. Discusses briefly Gholson and Taylor families genealogy; and, mentions William Cabell Bruce's Life of John Randolph of Roanoke as a delightful account of Chancellor Taylor.
