One undated note in the hand of Catharine S. Gregorie's daughter indicating that the correspondence between her mother, Catharine S. Gregorie, and her stepfather, William Graham was dated 1796-1820, and returned to her upon the death of her mother.
These are principally letters from Catharine Macaulay Graham's female descendents. After the death of her husband George Macaulay in 1766, Catharine Macaulay married an Anglican minister William Graham. Most of the letters concern the youth of C.S. Macaulay (later Gregorie), her relations with her mother, Catharine Macaulay Graham, and her stepfather, William Graham. Notable are the series of letters 1784-1786 to her mother while she visited America and France. Later, three dramatic letters in April-May 1791 describe C.S. Macaulay Gregorie's collapse at the news of her mother's death. The collection also includes correspondence of Mrs. Gregorie Brickdale (daughter to C.S. Macaulay Gregorie) and Jane Frazer, a cousin, the last will of George Gregorie (husband of C.S. Macaulay Gregorie) and miscellaneous letters and covers.
