Giddings's letters, written chiefly to his family, document his service in Congress (1848-1859) and as consul general in Montreal (1861). Julian's correspondence reflects his involvement with the Free Soil Party, the formation of the Republican Party in Indiana, antislavery movements, and Reconstruction. Giddings's correspondents include Salmon P. Chase, Oliver Johnson, John Gorham Palfrey, Charles Sumner, John Van Buren, and B. F. Wade. Julian's correspondents include Grover Cleveland, William Lloyd Garrison, Julia Ward Howe, John Stuart Mill, Whitelaw Reid, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Charles Sumner, and Henry Villard.
Joshua R. Giddings was a U.S. representative from Ohio, abolitionist, and consul general to Canada; his son-in-law and biographer, George Washington Julian, was a U.S. representative from Indiana.
