SCOPE AND CONTENT

This artificial and still growing collection contains over 1000 business and personal letters dating from 1642 to 1986.

As well, the collection includes some blank letter sheets, some with business letter heads and some with patriotic themes dating from the Civil War.

Note that brief letters on company letterheads are generally with the Printed Bills Collection (Col. 71), unless the content of the letter is significant.
