Trumbull, John, 1756-1843. Papers, 1790-1843.

Title: Papers, 1790-1843.

Papers, 1790-1824, containing inventories, letter books, account books, and miscellaneous notes. One volume contains inventories of his engravings and his personal and household possessions, as packed in cases for shipment across the Atlantic in 1803, 1808, and 1813. The same volume contains results of his experiments with colors and paints, and formulas for making paints and varnishes, as well as reciptes for medicines and household cleaning substances. Another volume contains three small account books, two dealing with subscriptions for engravings made from his paintings, the third with proceeds and expenses of the exhibition in 1824 of his painting, the Resignation of General Washington, in various cities in the northeastern United States. A third volume contains accounts, letters and memoranda relating to the management of his lands in the Mount Morris tract of Genesee County (N.Y.). Many of the letters are written to James Wadsworth and Samuel M. Hopkins, apparently his agents there, and include instructions on the rental and management of the land; one letter contains an inventory of a shipment of fruit trees and ornamental trees for planting there, enumerating the different varieties. The volume also includes a narrative, dated 1805, of a subscription taken up to improve the road to Dr. Samuel Willard's house at Stafford Springs (Conn.), and accounts of expenditure on the work done. Some related papers are laid in to this volume. There are also two letter books, 1796-1802, and 1810-1817. The earlier volume deals mostly with his work as commissioner charged with settling the 7th article, relating to American claims, of the Jay treaty between the U.S. and Great Britain, although some letters include general discussions of politics and of his business affairs. Correspondents include Oliver Wolcott, John Jay, Rufus King, and his brother Jonathan Trumbull. The second volume includes 16 letters to Rufus King. Most of the letters in the later volume were written during 1811-1813, when Trumbull was in England. Many of them give his views on the War of 1812, particularly the impressment issue, including one to the Prime Minister, Spencer Perceval, another to Sir Robert Liston, and one which was published in the Morning Post. Other letters deal with business and personal affairs, including his detention in Britain as an enemy alien, and the career in the British Army of his natural son, John Trumbull Ray. There are also letters discussing American politics, and a strong attack on DeWitt Clinton. A list of correspondents accompanies the volume.

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.
