Legal, business, and personal papers, chiefly 1820-1855, of members of the Gardiner family, of Pittsfield, Mass., consisting primarily of correspondence with William Gardiner, merchant of Pittsfield, and Thomas G. Gardiner, lawyer of Manlius, N.Y. The correspondence discusses banking, religious affairs, settlements of estates, a cholera epidemic, emigration to California, and farming, especially raising cotton. Included are a few papers of Judge Addison Gardiner (1797-1883), of Rochester, N.Y. The Gardiner family apparently had extensive business contacts in the South.
