Abstract:

Letters from the Lazarus-Calder records reveal the character of some of the first occupants of the Lazarus House, and provide a glimpse of Wilmington life in the nineteenth century. Aaron Marks Lazarus was a wealthy merchant who left no will when he died in 1841. This stimulated lively correspondence and Phila Cohen Lazarus Calder proved a faithful correspondent.
