Letters and papers of John Millington record his move to the newly opened University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi, 1850, and to the Medical College, Memphis, Tennessee, 1853. From this period came an order for payment for engineering services to the Mississippi Central Railroad, a copy of a medical address pritned in the Memphis Daily Bulletin, and letters from Williamsburg, Virginia, where he still owned a house, 1855-1858. A letter written by John C. Phillips after an eight month exploratory trip to Pike's Peak, colorado, 1861, reviews the mining prospects there; shares of stock from the Aetna Oil Company and the Shafton Coal Company reflect mineral activity in the East. From the war years, 1861-1864, there are many letters from his daughter, Mrs. Kate Millington Blankenship in Richmond, Virginia, and his son, George B. Millington, which tell of the movement of armies, the high prices of civillian goods, etc. The remainder of the letters and papers in this box are from the period of the return of John Millington to live in Philadelphia, 1865, and then to Richmond, Virginia, 1867, until his death on 10 July, 1868. Also included are papers concerned with the settlement of the estate of John Millington, 1868-1892.
