Title: Elihu Geer military papers, 1839-1884.

Elihu Geer was a printer in Hartford, Connecticut, well known as the publisher of the city directories. This collection contains Geer's militia papers, business and political correspondence, books of Connecticut militia law, as well as account and memorandum books. Geer rose from Captain to Brigadier General with the first brigade Connecticut militia. He took himself very seriously and encountered issues with Colonel Samuel Cooley, a man with a great deal of political influence but who took his military duties lightly. These issues are reflected in the papers. Additionally, there are officer resignations and letters to Geer from young officers. Geer was a Republican and represented Lyme in the State Legislature in 1861 and 1870. Among the political correspondence are two letters from James Dixon.

Geer, Elihu, 1817-1887. Elihu Geer incoming correspondence, 1841-1849.

Title: Elihu Geer incoming correspondence, 1841-1849.

Letters, a bill of lading for printing materials, and a circular letter from the Hartford Grammar School, sent to Elihu Geer, a Hartford, Connecticut, printer and publisher. The earliest letter is a complaint from T.P. Gillett about the increased cost of having the "Puritan & Congregationalist" sent by mail rather than rail. The bill of lading, 1841, is for one box and one bundle of printing materials shipped from Philadelphia by Johnson & Smith. Teacher John D. Post added a personal note about a debt he owed Geer to the circular from Hartford Grammar School. Two letters dated 1846 refer to a man named Larrabee whose parents lived in East Hartford. He evidently was a Whig and hoped the Whigs would pay his way home from New Haven. The last letter is from L. Johnson & Co. about an order for printing plates, such as English script, German text and decorative flowers.
