Gathers 142 letters written by Mary Telfair of Savannah to her best friend Mary Few of New York. Telfair was born in 1791 to a wealthy, slaveholding family. Few, born in 1790, moved with her family from Savannah to New York in 1799. Self-exiled because of their antislavery views, the Fews never returned Georgia yet remained close to the Telfairs.
