Title: Letters received, 1866-1874.

These letters were received by Chandler after he retired from the bench and consideration of public office due to deafness. Yet, he continued to advise on the law and was consulted on legal and political matters by many including Governor Bullock and Congressman Hooper. In retirement, Chandler pursued other interests. A number of letters comment on his observations on the Authority of the Gospels, by a Layman (Chicago, 1867), a work notably influenced by Swedenborgian doctrines. Born in Maine, Chandler graduated from Bowdoin College in 1834 but maintained his ties to the state, where he owned a summer hotel, and to the school, which awarded him a L.L.D. in 1867. As an influential and respected resident of Boston, Chandler was involved in Back Bay improvements and in the development of the South End as a trustee of Huntington Avenue Lands. Correspondents include E.R. Hoar, John H. Clifford, George W. Blagden, George Otis Shattuck, John Codman Ropes, Rufus Ellis, Samuel Hurd Walley, Charles Wentworth Upham, George Tyler Bigelow, Cyrus Woodman, Alexander H.

Title: Henry Edwards collection of entomological correspondence, 1854-1891, 1862-1891 (bulk)

Extensive collection of 2,820 letters and 566 postcards addressed to Henry Edwards. Letters were written by 289 individuals from 24 countries, especially Australia, Canada, and England.

The bulk of the correspondence (1,021 letters and postcards) is from William H. Edwards, lepidopterist, and contains much information on his entomological activities, as well as requests for Henry Edwards' opinions and information. Other entomologists represented by a quantity of letters and postcards include James Behrens, 1867-1887; Ezra T. Cresson, 1870-1888; Hermann A. Hagen, 1874-1888; Joseph A. Litner, 1876-1886; A.S.
