Abstract | Anna R. McIver was born in 1828 and was a resident of Cheraw, S.C. Her father was A. M. McIver, a solicitor. The collection contains personal and family correspondence, chiefly between 1840 and 1853, addressed to Anna R. McIver of Cheraw, S.C., from family members and friends. The majority of the letters written before 1853 concern the life and activities of people in their twenties. Subjects include the social life of universities in South Carolina and Maryland, military education, attitudes towards politics and religion, parties, courtships, and family news. After 1853, there are two letters, dated 1866 and 1880. Correspondents include Harriet F. LaCoste, who wrote from school in Charleston, 1842, and who later became Mrs. George McIver; Anna's brother, Henry, who was at South Carolina College in 1843-44, and was admitted to the bar in 1848; brother Frank, who wrote from the College of St. James, Md., from 1853 to 1856; cousin Anne McIver, who wrote from South Carolina and Alabama; cousin Carrie McIver, who wrote from Society Hill, S.C.; and Margaret H. Perdicaris, who wrote from Athens, Greece, and later from Trenton, N.J., was the wife of the hellenophile Gregory A. Perdicaris and was probably the aunt of Anna McIver. The bulk of this collection is available on microfilm only. |
