    Papers of Clewell, typesetter, later doctor and druggist, and private in Co. E, 21st Regt. NCT, and in Co. B, 1st Battalion Sharp Shooters (9th Battalion N.C. Sharp Shooters). Letters to family in Salem and Thomasville (Glen Anna Female Seminary) describe Jackson's Shenandoah Valley campaign (1862) and the Battle of Winchester; civilian life in Raleigh and concern about despotism of Confederate government (1863); camp at Kinston and assignment as typesetter for State Journal in Goldsboro; Early's Shenandoah Valley campaign (1864); and camp at Petersburg (1864). Postwar letters concern settlers and Wyandotte Indians around Kansas City, Mo. (1866), and starting practice as pharmacist and physician in Baltimore (1878). Three letters are from Dr. Theodore F. Keebler about opening for a doctor at Bethania (1870-1871). Printed items include his membership card in the Raleigh Typographical Society, 1864.
