Phelps, J. W. (John Wolcott), 1813-1885. John W. Phelps papers, 1835-1884.

Title: John W. Phelps papers, 1835-1884.

This collection consists of 180 items, primarily letters written to John W. Phelps, from 1835 to 1884. Many of these letters relate to Phelps' military career, beginning from his time as a cadet at West Point and culminating with his resignation from the U.S. Army in 1862. Several documents specifically mention events and conditions in the Seminole War and the Mexican War, including some correspondence from 1848 that alludes to failed attempts by Phelps to publish his journal kept during the Mexican War. A number of letters and reports from the early 1850s also include information about conditions in Texas and on the Mexican border. However, there are fewer documents related to Phelps' 1857-1858 Mormon Expedition service. Letters from 1861 to September 1862 relate directly to events taking place during John W. Phelps' Civil War service. Much of the later correspondence is focused on either politics or Phelps' literary and scholarly endeavors. None of the letters appear to allude to Phelps' 1880 presidential candidancy. The seller's inventory, prepared in 1925, describing the 180 documents in this collection, is available in folder 0.

The collection consists of papers of John W. Phelps from 1862-1870.

The letters addressed to him as editor are marked in this index by a star (*) and the folders containing them are stamped with a red N.A.R.(=North American Review).

Palfrey family papers, 1713-1915

Title: Palfrey family papers, 1713-1915

Papers of the Palfrey family of New England. The material of this collection encompasses over 150 years of American history and many items of interest besides those documenting the life and works of John Gorham Palfrey, who is its central figure. A few of these may be briefly mentioned here. The papers of William Palfrey include letters between John Wilkes and the Sons of Liberty and William Palfrey's personal correspondence with Wilkes at the time of the latter's imprisonment in 1769-1770, including Palfrey's description of the Boston Massacre. William Palfrey's business account and financial papers are extensive and range in subject from accounts of trade with Virginia in 1763 to the disposition of funds of the Continental Army during the time Palfrey was Pay Master General. His close association and correspondence with John Hancock should be noted. Several interesting items pertain to the dispute between Hancock and the Boston printer, John Mein, which resulted in Thomas Longman's suit against Mein and the latter's imprisonment. The papers of John Palfrey deal mainly with his business affairs and the management of his plantation at Attakapas. However, several letters by his sons, Edward, William Taylor, and Henry William give first-hand accounts of battles in the war of 1812. Letters to John Gorham Palfrey from over 1000 corespondents form the largest single section in the collection. Of special importance are 377 letters from Jared Sparks and 148 letters from Charles Sumner.
