Correspondence of the family of William R. Smith (1822-1900) and his wife Ann Woodrow (Kirby) Smith (1825-1924) of Springfield and Hillsboro, Ohio. The Smiths were Presbyterians, but Ann Smith's mother, Rachel (Woodrow) Kirby (1804-1893), came from a Virginia Quaker family. The letters are rich in comments on antislavery, politics, and temperance from the 1830s to the 1880s.
