Autograph letter signed

Title: to Miller A. Wright

Wilson had gone to find Green Adams again, but he had left the area. Wilson had wanted something delivered to Rome, GA, but was having difficulty because Rome "was not within the lines." Wilson asks about Augustus. Evidently, he had gotten into some sort of trouble after the close of the war.

13 February 1891

Rosa, fl. 1863

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Miller A. Wright

Miller has not written in a while. She scathingly opens "You spoke as if you had only received my letter a week ago. I had written at least a month when I had the pleasure of receiving yours." Because she is soon expecting company, she has time to only hurriedly disclose the latest gossip.

Title: to Miller A. Wright

C. E. tells Miller that a man he has recently gotten in touch with about some business is a worthwhile investment. A "splendid man," he says. He also adds some notes on domestic life.

Autograph note

Title: [financial statement]

Note on Miller's own stationary which reads "Miller A. Wright, Dr., Dealer in Dry Good, Clothing, Notions, Boots, Shoes and Hats." Financial statement. There are numerical quantities listed in the right margin, while text fills the rest of the page. The last page has been ripped in half, and only the bottom half is present. It reads: "Will Burns has some notes of mine against me that are settled and went to get them today-But he kept them for the purposes of having the mortgage cancelled-He will turn them over."

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Miller A. Wright

The heading reads "Capt. Miller A. Wright" (Miller is referred in accordance with his actual military rank of Colonel in all other correspondence after his promotion). Mr. Hudgins was remarkably unaware of the status of the man who he comfortably addresses as "Dear Comrade". Letter notifying Miller that there will be no change of date for the "reunion," presumably one for civil war veterans. Other information concerning the reunion is also provided.

11 September 1897

Fellows, A.W., fl. 1897

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Miller A. Wright

Mr. Fellows was probably asked to check on Miller's brother for him, for he comments that he passed his brother's house, and though he missed him, saw what a lovely house Miller's brother had. Mr. Fellows also notes Miller's coal land in Tennessee, which he says is in the market. He would like to obtain a precise location from Miller so that he may see it. He mentions that it is hotter up north than it was down south.

20 February 1899

Wright, M.A., fl. 1899

Autograph letter signed

Title: to judge

Probably written by Moses Wright, considering Miller's death three weeks previous. At the top of the stationary, which reads "Rome Judicial Circuit," appears Moses' name above the printed title of "Solicitor General." Probably addressed to Judge W. M. Henry, whose name appears across from Moses' above the printed title "Judge." This seems to be a legal document pertaining to the will of the deceased Miller A. Wright.
