Title: Papers, 1803-1825.

This collection of papers, for the period 1803 to 1825, is miscellaneous in nature and contains personal, professional, and military correspondence. The personal correspondence includes a dinner invitation, dated [23 December 1803], to Levi Lincoln (1849-1820); a letter, dated 1 July 1812, to William Bentley (1759-1819) regarding Dearborn's reservations as to the appointment of James Bowers ( -1834) as a chaplin in the army; and a long, interesting letter, dated Sault de St. Marie 1st August 1825, from his grandson-in-law (and great-nephew) Greenlief Dearborn (1786-1846). In it, Greenlief writes, among other topics, of a trial held in Mackinaw, Mich., of five Indians of the Chippewa Nation "... for the murders of a party of traders on the Mississippi last year." There is one letter of a professional nature from Martin Kingsley (1754-1835) and James Campbell (1761-1826), of Harrington, District of Maine, recommending Jeremiah O'Brien (1778-1858) as a replacement to fill the vacancy of the Office of Collector for the Port of Machias in the County of Washington due to the death of the former collector, and O'Brien's uncle, Jeremiah O'Brien (1740-1818). The remaining four letters all deal with some aspect of Dearborn's military career. One regarding sheep, one regarding bonds and oaths, and one regarding transportation of men and baggage. There is also a letter of introduction, dated 14 June 1813, from Thomas P. Baldwin ( - ).
