http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155862734

The collection deals primarily with the legal, financial, political, and family affairs of Isaac Wayne. Education plays a large part in the correspondence and other papers, particularly the educations of Isaac Wayne's younger relatives Charles Wayne, William Wayne Evans, and Israel Vogdes at such institutions as the West Point Military Academy and the University of Pennsylvania, and the operation of the Chester County Academy, of which Isaac Wayne was a trustee. Also common are letters dealing with portraits, papers, memoirs, and other memorabilia of Isaac Wayne's father, Anthony Wayne. Financial documents are primarily accounts and bills, in addition to many letters regarding loans. Some correspondence and other political papers relate to Isaac Wayne's tenure in Congress and to Andrew Jackson's presidential campaign. Legal papers include court documents and information about estates and wills, most notably for Isaac Wayne's son, Charles, and his mother, Margaret Penrose. Major correspondents include Thomas Biddle, John J. Brice, William H. Dillingham, William Graydon, Joseph Lewis, Charles Miner, Abraham R. Perkins, Richard Stites, Samuel Turney, Israel Vogdes, Charles Wayne, and William Wayne.
