Letter from Nathan Sellers to Joseph Coleman about courting his daughter, Elizabeth Coleman Sellers. Sellers also describes why Elizabeth and himself have been corresponding in secret and that he desires to "recommend" himself to her.; American Philosophical Society
A series of letters written between Elizabeth Coleman Sellers and Nathan Sellers while they were courting. Letters were likely written between 1776 and 1779. Both letter writers cover a wide range of topics and sign their letters "Eugenius" and "Harriott" to disguise their identities. Nathan Sellers, who had joined the Pennsylvania Militia, was disowned by the Darby Society of Friends, which meant that their courting was done in secret. Included in the letters is poetry written by them as well as others, their mutual Quaker faith, their affection for each other, and their families.; American Philosophical Society
