Thaddeus Banks (1815-1879) was a lawyer of Hollidaysburg, Pa. The collection includes chiefly correspondence and business papers of Banks, consisting mostly of letters, 1839-1841, from Banks to his fiancee, Delia Jane Reynolds, and scattered letters to her, 1842-1864, after their marriage. Also included are letters of the Banks family of Pennsylvania; the Reynolds family, Quakers, of Cecil County, Md.; and John C. Reynolds, who was with the United States Office of Indian Affairs. Letters of John C. Reynolds concern fighting in the Second Seminole War and dealings with the Cherokee, Sac (or Sauk), and Fox Native Americans, and include a letter describing a trip, 1840, through Mammoth Cave. An 1807-1817 receipt book shows amounts paid for various expenses by Creswell Reynolds & Company, Reuben Reynolds, and others.
