Scope and Contents

ALS, Benjamin F. Winchester, Morgan City, to his sister, Matilda Elder, 14 July 1881. General news about his legal career, financial successes, and family: "I have been very busy, these last three months, and when I would come home from court in Terrebonne & in Franklin, on Saturday nights, like a free negroe, to get clean clothes & see my family, & to be off again Sunday night, to be prompt and ready at my post, early on Monday morning. I would often think, how glad you would be to know, I was following close on to the heels of the 'Grand Old Paternal' who circuit was ever the same stomping ground."
