This collection contains five letters and one biographical sketch collected by Margaret Underwood Ferguson. The correspondence between Margaret Underwood Ferguson and Clarence W.

Underwood, describes his life as a district attorney, a state senator, and a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1870. He also edited seventeen volumes of the Illinois Supreme Court Reports.
