Letters to Charlotte Fischer (von Höfeln), with letters to and from other family members and some miscellaneous items.

Letters to Charlotte Fischer are mostly from friends and relatives in Germany, both before and after her immigration to the United States. They are almost all in old German script. There are a few letters addressed to her husband, Andreas von Höfeln, from friends in both the U.S. and in Germany. Letters from son Alexander Heflin include a few letters to his parents in German or a German/English hybrid, and many letters to his fiancé / wife Jessie Beathard, written in English. Topics of letters include Heflin's travels through Kansas (in an April 1879 letter he suggests that Eureka, Kansas might be a good place to settle), as well as the health/illness of family members and mutual friends.

There is also a journal in German (most likely Charlotte von Höfelin's), which includes poetry passages, Bible verses, and essays, written around 1849-1851, and some unidentified correspondence and poetry.
