This small collection of Samuel Jackson material contains letters
written and received by him, a case history, two bills, and
a recipe, 1835-1864.
Most of the letters received and the case history concern descriptions and treatments of epileptics by physicians, generally alumni of the University of Pennsylvania who were practicing in the southern United States. The physicians are: Richard D. Arnold, William B. Cochran, Francis H. Deane, S. C. Gleaves, Virginius W. Harrison, William B. Pleasants, John Thomas Pritner, John Seibert, G. W. Mc Semple, and Edmund P. Taliaferro. There are also letters from patients or their family members, including six letters from epileptic W. C. Haymond, describing experiences with the affliction.
The three letters sent by Jackson are to Joseph Carson, William Alexander Hammond, and statesman Daniel Webster, containing two prescriptions for Webster's hay fever.
