"All of the seventy-two documents reproduced in this collection are held in a single private collection, the Annie Wood Webb Papers. Because of the rarity of these documents as examples of nineteenth-century African American women's personal correspondence, there has been no selection process: all documents written by Louisa Jacobs and Annie Purvis to Eugenie Webb are included."--Editorial note.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-206) and index.
