James A. Briggs and Robert Mitchell papers, 1853-1907.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145782294

Family papers of two Marquette County, Wis., brothers-in-law; consisting primarily of correspondence between various family members revealing their loyalty to the Episcopal Church and the Republican Party, and other aspects of the lives of a well-to-do family in the 1870s and 1880s. Some of Robert Mitchell's correspondence is of a political nature, relating to the growing opposition in the Wisconsin legislature and nationally to radical Republicans and the Ulysses S. Grant administration, and to the 1875 defeat of radical Republican U.S. Senator Matthew Carpenter in which Mitchell played a part.
