Records, 1831-1955 (inclusive), 1831-1926 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/229894599

The collection, which is remarkably complete, includes general account books, production records, sales records, payrolls, and letters. The records which have proved to be of the greatest interest are the letterbooks, especially the treasurers' letters, the sales records, semiannual reports to the directors, and the payrolls. Information also appears in the records for the Suffolk and Tremont Mills, which were controlled by the Lawrence Manufacturing Company. Townsend and Yale (later E.M. Townsend and Company) were the selling agents. Treasurers' letters include those of Henry Hall, Henry V. Ward, T. Jefferson Coolidge, L.M. Sargent, and C.P. Baker. Agents' letters include William Austin, William S. Southworth, William F. Salmon, Daniel Hussey, John Kilburn, Franklin Nourse, E.H. Walker.
