Scope and Contents
This small collection contains personal letters, 1827-1859, one
from Caspar Wistar, the others received by him from family members,
and two undated poems.
The undated letter from Wistar to [Caspar?] Morris describes the
concern Wistar feels for his brother's failing eyesight, while
the letter from S. M. Waln to Wistar, 10 January 1859, relates
the efforts made to locate Wistar's son, Caspar, who disappeared
in Australia in 1859. The collection also includes three letters,
1854 and 1856, from Wistar's eldest son, Issac Jones Wistar,
then practicing law in San Francisco, which describe his situation
and financial prospects.
