Letters, 1897
Scope and Contents Note
The John Porter Woody letters (1888-1911; 0.5 cubic feet) document Woody's work on a section of the Pampatike farm in King William County, Virginia. The bulk of the letters to Woody are from Pampatike owner Thomas Henry Carter, who updates Woody on business matters including farm finances, equipment, and Carter's travels. Folder 1 contains a copy of Woody's lease from January 1, 1894.
A small number of items in the collection are receipts for purchases of farm equipment, and the last two letters, dated 1911, are from Woody's son Chastine.
