Stuart, James H. (James Henry). Letters sent., 1844 -1853
Scope and Contents
The collection contains letters sent and received, 1819-1887,
by members of the Forster family of Dauphin County, Pa., particularly
General John Forster (1777-1863); his second wife, Margaret
S. Forster (1804-1891); Mrs. Forster's son, James H. Stuart
(1828-1854); and Benjamin L. Forster, the second son of John
and Margaret Forster.
Although the content of the Forster family letters is personal
in nature, there are many observations concerning matters of
individual and public health and homeopathic medical treatment.
Of particular interest are the letters from James H. Stuart
to his mother and brother, Benjamin, concerning his training
and experiences as a medical student in Philadelphia and the
establishment of his professional practice in Erie.
