註釋

Correspondence between Rev. Francis Vinton and several family members. The letters begin while he is a student at the Military Academy in West Point, New York. Most are from his mother, Mary Vinton, who was living in Pomfret, Connecticut. Her home was named La Plaisance. Other correspondents included his brothers John and Alex and his sister-in-law Eleanor Thompson Vinton. Vinton remained with the Army through the Creek Campaign in 1836. He also studied divinity and served several churches in his native Rhode Island and in New York. In the 1840s Vinton received letters from his brother, John, who was serving in the Mexican-American war.
