Lee and Shepard. Business records, 1860s-1906.

Title: Business records, 1860s-1906.

This collection of correspondence, book orders, and receipts encompasses the firm's business from the 1860s until its incorporation with the Boston publishing house of Lothrop & Company in 1906. Letters from Lee & Shepard's most important authors were evidently removed from this collection prior to its purchase by Charles H. Taylor, but the remaining correspondence includes letters from published authors and from people submitting unsolicited manuscripts. In addition to this correspondence, there are book orders from libraries and literary institutions, book orders from individuals, and business correspondence from book dealers and other publishers. There is also scattered correspondence to Frank E. Wetherell in Woburn, Mass. and to Mrs. Isabel W. Littlefield (representing the Woburn Woman's Club). These letters are unrelated to the rest of the collection. Principal figures in the Lee & Shepard correspondence include: William Taylor Adams ("Oliver Optic"), author; George Melville Baker, who wrote amateur dramas and was employed by the firm; Rebecca Sophia Clarke ("Sophie May"), author of juvenile literature; William Carey Richards, author; and Francis Henry Underwood, author and U.S. Consul to Edinburgh.
