Caperton Burnam, Jamie, 1893-1920

Mary James Caperton (Burnam) was the first born daughter of Col. and Mrs. Caperton. The six folders that follow all contain correspondence to Jamie both as a Caperton and, after she married, a Burnam. Consequently, the correspondence in these folders covers Jamie's life as a child up through her role as a daughter, wife and mother. The correspondence ranges from personal and family letters to organizational and societal correspondence that relates to Jamie's public life. Of special interest to the Caperton family history are the sweet father-daughter letters that Col. Caperton wrote to his daughter in during the early months of her life in 1893. All correspondence is arranged chronologically.
