Correspondence

This file contains the incoming and outgoing correspondence of the Moore-DeWolfe family recording family, social, and religious life in the parishes of Saint Stephen and Saint David, as well as many details of life outside of Charlotte County in this period.
Several of the letters in the 1820s and 1830s between Edward DeWolfe and the N.B. Government concern land in Charlotte County. in the 1840s there are three very interesting letters from Sarah Wade who was a pioneer in the Aroostook area to her sister in St. Davids; and two letters from the Honorable James Brown to Tristram Moore and Samuel Dunham. The bulk of the letters cover the 1870s and 1880s when the family, it seems, reached its peak in society, in financial success, and in family cohesiveness. The many letters of Mrs. John Warren (Mary Louisa DeWolfe) Moore for this period contain much detail on social life, business endeavours, family concerns, and religious activities. Complementing the out-going letters of Mrs. Moore are the many incoming letters from the many family members who ranged far-and-wide around the globe in business or pleasure. There are letters (and poetry) from Leonard Scott, editor of the Blackwood’s magazine in New York. There are letters from Dr. Edward DeWolfe who spent a considerable amount of time in a practice in Saint John. To round out the correspondence, there are letters from family members in St. Stephen, Saint John, Fredericton, New York, Boston, California, Minneapolis, Eastport, Norfolk, Paris, Liverpool, and Brussels.
