Papers, 1787-1828.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261227939

Papers consist of business letters, orders, invoices, bills, and receipts, and a very few personal letters. One personal item of particular importance is a copy of a 1799 letter to Nathaniel's brother Isaac, in which he tells about his anchor business and gives a little news about the family. The business papers focus on Cushing's anchor business and his investments in overseas commerce, trading in such commodities as iron, cotton, cotton yarn, flour, and tobacco. Correspondents include: Ebenezer Little Boyd, Joshua Barstow, Charles Scudder, Benjamin Cushing, J.B. Borland, and the firm Lodges & Tooth. As well, the collection contains some photocopies of items about Cushing found in other collections. Transcripts of the items are part of the collection and are filed with the originals. It is not known who did the transcripts, nor when. A few transcripts are for items not in the collection; the location of the originals of these is not known. The transcripts have not been checked for accuracy.
