Briggs, George N. (George Nixon), 1796-1861. Correspondence, 1832-1861.

Title: Correspondence, 1832-1861.

This correspondence was written almost entirely during Briggs' career as a U.S. Congressman and Massachusetts Governor. Several letters from Horace Mann (1796-1859) and, to a lesser extent, from Mark Hopkins (1802-1887) and Edward Everett (1794-1865) illustrate Briggs' interest in matters concerning education. Briggs received many letters about politics and legal cases from John Davis (1787-1854). For the most part, the remaining correspondence concerns itself with recommendations, invitations, and various messages of an official nature. A number of these letters were sent by John Gorham Palfrey (1796-1881) and Josiah Quincy (1802-1882).
