Also included is a letterbook (1815-1817) of Otis Norcross (1785-1827), Norcross's father and the founder of the company in partnership with Gilman Collamore until 1816. The letters document his business activities in the pottery industry, in particular with Lodges & Tooth, a distribution firm of Liverpool, England.
