The first section consists of William Logan's business ledger (1752-1755) and Thomas Fisher's personal ledger (1806-1813). There are two boxes of chronologically arranged correspondence, financial papers, and miscellanea (1823-1895) of Theoma Rodman Fisher, his wife Letitia Ellicott Fisher, her mother Sara Ellicott, William Redwood Wright's mother Henrietta Hoskins Price, and his uncle William Redwood Price; and one box of account books and scrapbooks of Thomas Rodman Fisher's and Ellicott Fisher's and a remedy book of Letitia Ellicott Fisher. The correspondence is primarily between family members. There are eleven boxes of chronologically arranged correspondence (1870-1914) touching on William Redwood Wright's involvement in Philadelphia politics and clubs, and on his business matters; three boxes of receipts and accounts; and seven boxes of business papers, scrapbooks, invitations and miscellanea. There are three boxes of Letitia E. C. Wright's correspondence, the last one includes property and financial papers, and miscellanea. George W. Carpenter traveled abroad extensively after his first marriage and acquired a large circle of European friends. The correspondence with these friends constitutes a large portion of this section, as does other personal correspondence. There is one box containing a scrapbook, and a receipt book from the Wright Pike Co. The sixth section includes the correspondence of William Redwood Wright's generation. One box has the correspondence, business, and financial papers of Ellicott Fisher, Harvey Fisher, and Sydney Longstreth Wright and one box has those of Mary Rodman Fisher Carpenter, Sydney George Fisher, Charles Graff Wright, William Logan Fisher, Robert Kemp Wright, Jr., and Emlen Newbold Carpenter. There is a folder of miscellaneous family correspondence and one of William Redwood Wright's children. The last section of four boxes includes a small Autograph Collection assembled by George W. Carpenter with signatures from prominent American and European figures. There are also photographs, maps, land papers, genealogical material, train car brake diagrams, and copies of newspaper clippings and pamphlets transferred to the reading room.
