The group is made up chiefly of bills and receipts arising from the lives of Fanny and Milia Fleming, but contains as well half a dozen letters and a handful of deeds. The six letters in the collection range in date from 1837 to 1858 and were written by kinsmen in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Rutherford County, N.C. Other materials include remnants of two small primers, and a slave pass.    In 1852 Fleming turned his property over to his three youngest children who then entered into a $2000 performance bond to care for him for the remainder of his life. More than 40 years later, his only surviving child, Fanny, made much the same arrangement for her own care by entering into an agreement with a friend and neighbor, Jane Harriet (Fisher) Harwell whereby Mrs. Harwell should become the residuary legatee of Miss Fleming after looking after her for the remainder of her life. After Miss Fleming's death, this small collection of papers came into the possession of Mrs. Harwell whose family preserved them along with the Harwell family papers.    The six letters in the collection range in date from 1837 to 1858 and were written by kinsmen in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ruther�ford County, N.C. Deeds and land papers in the collection are muniments of title to land owned by Archibald Fleming and, subsequently, to his children, and range in date from 1771 to 1852. The bills and receipts range in date from 1844 to 1888 and include weaver's bills and doctor's bills, purchases of dry goods, sewing notions, hardware, shoe leather, and tax receipts. Among the tax receipts are four documents relating to the tax in kind and other taxes imposed by the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Promissory notes in the collection show that the two sisters, Fanny and Milia, consistently signed with a mark.    Nevertheless, the collection of family papers includes the remnant of two small primers that had been used in the family when the two women were small children. Both date from the end of the eighteenth or beginning of the nineteenth century, and neither has title page or publication information, One of them was issued under authority of the Presbyterian Church and lacks all pages before page 3 and all after page 64. It has a page giving the phonetic value of the vowels, a brief listing of words of two, three, four, and five syllables, a mnemonic alphabet illustrated with woodcuts (\"A. In Adam's fall, We sinned all\"), a pious account of the martyrdom of John Rogers in 1554, The Shorter Catechism, and A Dialogue Between Christ, a Youth, and the Devil. The second remnant of a primer includes more extensive lists of words of one, two, and three syllables, and pious writings and poems for children.    Preserved in the papers is an 1846 pass for a Houston family slave, Wilson, to go to Archibald Fleming's plantation for shoe leather, which one supposes Mr. Fleming retained after writing another pass for Wilson to return to his master's plantation.    A lock of hair in the collection is presumed to be that of Miss Fleming's mother, Martha (Thompson) Fleming (1782-1825) who died when Miss Fleming was fifteen years old.
