註釋

Chiefly correspondence, together with some photographs. The collection consists largely of correspondence sent to Annie L. McGehee in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from her friend Theo in Memphis and other acquaintances from Como, Miss. Theo's letters cover topics such as popular music of the period; the World's Fair in St. Louis, Mo.; the progress of Theo's music students; and trips to New York. There are several letters sent to Annie McGehee from friends in Como and from the Huntsville Female College expressing their condolences for the loss of Annie's father. Edward Waller Taylor, McGehee's fiancée from Como, provides the bulk of the correspondence in the collection. Taylor worked as a traveling salesman for a Memphis, Tenn., company called Chism. Taylor's letters recount his sales trips to Texas, as well as his desire to move to Texas and open a merchant store in El Paso. Edward's letters also discuss the difficulties of traveling due to yellow fever and quarantines of local towns, including Como. Other topics discussed in the collection include religious conversion, the ethnic population of El Paso, and the World's Fair in St. Louis, Mo.
