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.

Gilman family. Papers, 1809-1888.

Title: Papers, 1809-1888.

This collection of papers consists mostly of family letters and poetry of Samuel and Caroline Howard Gilman. The two major recipients of their letters are Samuel's sister, Louisa Gilman Loring (1797-1868) of Salem, Cambridge, and Boston, Mass., and Caroline's sister, Harriet Howard Fay (1782-1847) of Cambridge. There are also many letters from Samuel to Caroline while he was in Boston or on other trips along the East Coast. The letters discuss personal, family, and social matters, literature, religious subjects (especially Samuel's ministry and Unitarianism), the slavery issue, and life in Charleston. There is also some discussion of the literary magazine, Rose Bud, and the English writer, Harriet Martineau (1802-1876). The letters are valuable historically in that they contain various observations and comments made by two New Englanders living in the antebellum South. The collection also contains ten sermons by Samuel, as well as tributes to the memory of Samuel and Caroline.
