Tremont and Suffolk Mills Records, 1831-1936 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/229894596

These are incomplete records of two early Lowell cotton mills, started in 1831, joined in 1871, and finally absorbed by the Nashua Manufacturing Company in 1926. The collection is fairly strong for the early period, and there are several series of letters. The papers relating to sales in China (1905-1910) and to relations with the Locks and Canals Company (1878-1886) are of particular interest. Includes treasurers' letters of Henry Hall, Henry V. Ward, Walter Hastings, William A. Burke, J.C. Ayer, J.C. Birdseye, A.S. Covel, and Charles F. Young, and agents' letters of Israel Whitney, John Aiken, Charles L. Tilden, Charles F. Battles, John Wright, Thomas S. Shaw, E.W. Thomas, and J.J. Connell.

The Locks and Canals company was chartered in 1792 by a group of merchants and shipowners from Newburyport, Mass. interested in improving the navigability of the Merrimack River and thereby boosting commerce at Newburyport.
