"Carmichael Letter" is a single example of a letter from a larger collection of correspondence addressed to Fredericksburg-Virginia physician James Carmichael.  These unusual letters from patients to their physician date from the second and third decades of the 19th century and describe symptoms and treatments for family members as well as African-American slaves.
