The correspondence of William Devereaux and John Peter Kendall deals with their education at Bethel College and Philadelphia University, Kendall family history, and their American Civil War experience including military actions, relations with civilians, hospitals, and everyday activities of a fighting regiment. This portion of the collection also contains William Devereux Kendall's speech that is based on his reminiscences of the life of a Confederate soldier and describes trade between Confederate and Union soldiers. The letters also mention Hiram Kendall, an enslaved person who was taken to war by his enslavers, the Kendall family. The documents include indentures and deeds by Peter and Devereux Jarrett Kendall, records documenting William Devereux Kendall's military career, and a voter's registration issued to Devereux Jarrett Kendall in 1869. The collection also contains letters to and from Devereux Jarrett, William Devereaux, John Peter, and Courts Kendall; documents, photographs, newspaper clippings; as well as typewritten copies of late 17th and 18th century land and business records of the Courts family of Maryland, and family photographs.
