Papers, 1841-1884.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207144759

Seven diaries, 1841-1842, 1845-1849, consist of daily entries kept by Hill while a teacher, law student, clerk, and lawyer. The entries record both social and business activities. Court cases are discussed, as well as national political issues of the time. There are several entries concerning the war with Mexico, bills before Congress (Bank Bill, War Bill, and Tariff Bill) and political conventions. Occasional entries record local news. One manuscript box (1842-1884) contains legal documents and correspondence addressed to Hill. Much of the correspondence was written by clients and there are many letters from George Stillman Hillard (1808-1879) and Benjamin Franklin Thomas (1813-1878). A few miscellaneous items include papers relating to the Worcester Horticultural Society and receipts. There are legal documents appointing Hill Justice of the Peace and Commissioner of Deeds.
