These papers were primarily generated by Josiah Quincy (1772-1864), but in several cases, his signature and that of his son are not distinguishable. In addition, there is an 1864 letter written by Mary Jane Miller (Mrs. Josiah) Quincy ( - ) to Mary Tyler Peabody (Mrs. Horace) Mann (1806-1887) regarding the death of her father-in-law.
