Papers, 1815-1830. [microform].

The papers of Benjamin F. Bailey consist entirely of business correspondence. There is correspondence to Bailey as State's Attorney, and many papers are addressed to the partnership of Bailey and Marsh.

There is no personal correspondence, leaving much of Bailey's family and personal life undocumented.
