The papers of Daniel Whipple consist of correspondence, deeds and bonds, court records, and accounts and receipts. The bulk of the material deals with Mary Whipple's administration of his estate after his apparently sudden death. Much correspondence is to and from Samuel Avery (whose papers form part of the Stevens Collection) who was in the process of acquiring a large tract of land with Whipple at the time of his death. Avery, with Mary Whipple, petitions for the patent to the lands.
