Much of Dr. David Raymond and Tryphena Blanche's life can be learned from the letters that she wrote to her mother in Massachusetts. These original letters are at the archives in Jackson, Mississippi. A collection of 81 of the letters are arranged in this book, which tells of their married life, Dr. Fox's medical experiences, and the rebuilding of their home after the Civil War.
