The collection primarily consists of the correspondence of two New Hampshire abolitionists, James Burns Wallace (1813-1853) and George Kimball (1787-1858). Wallace, who was born in Salem, N.H. and settled in Canaan, N.H., worked as a printer, merchant, teacher, and soldier. He described himself as a"reformist, an abolitionist, a pure Radical". Kimball, an attorney, postmaster, and antislavery advocate from Canaan, made a controversial and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to open a school for black children in Concord, N.H.
