Scope and arrangement
Letters written by John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833), planter and statesman from Virginia, to Edward Booker, William B. Giles, and others, mainly personal in nature. Transcribed letters of 1814 and 1815 between Randolph and his former sister-in-law Ann Cary Randolph Morris center on mutual enmity, extending to accusations of infidelity, of slander against Morris's husband, statesman Gouverneur Morris, and to condemnations of the actions and comportment of both parties.
