Chiefly legal documents and memorandum books, with one letter. One memorandum book belonging to William Donoho, who began working for Adams in 1838, contains a daybook (1838-1840) and a diary (Jan. 1,1864-Oct. 7, 1865). Another memorandum book (1817-1830) consists primarily of accounts, and includes a list of servants with ages or dates of birth. Other documents include: wills; lists of slaves, some belonging to John Poultney, and some referring to the effect of freedom on former slaves; and a brief genealogy of the Adams family. The single letter was written by Ben Bailey of Stokes County, N.C., and comments on his experience with working freedmen on his farm.
