This collection consists of letters written by S. N. Dickinson to Elihu Geer (1817-1887), a printer in Hartford, Conn. The letters concern matters relating to the printing and type founding business. These business matters pertain mostly to the sale of presses, type, paper and other related items. Several letters concern an agreement entered into by Dickinson and Geer to protect each other from monetary loss. Eighteen letters are written by Dickinson's junior partner, Charles C. P. Moody, all of the same nature as those described above. The collection also includes 4 receipts of Elihu Geer.
