http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122519852

The papers of Hon. Samuel Hunt, Jr. are, in large, part, correspondence dealing with his legal profession in Keene through the 1790's. Hunt ended his law practice around the turn of the century and the collection shifts to more personal correspondence, mostly to his mother, including letters to and from France, Charlestown and Ohio where he died. The papers are important for they reveal in part the way legal matters were undertaken in the late 1700's. In addition to this, the papers reveal the life of a man whose interests led him in many different fields and direction.
