Chiefly land papers and legal correspondence; including letter, 4 Apr. 1843, Edgefield, S.C., from S. Trowbridge, Woodville, S.C., requesting confidential advice as to procedure for securing designation as trustee of his fiancee's property, adding that his fiancee did not want such an arrangement. Materials relating to plantation management include letter, 20 Dec. 1845, Newberry, S.C., from Thomas H. Pope, requesting Griffin to make arrangements for hiring out slaves belonging to his brother's estate, noting that he did not want to hire them in Newberry, S.C., as food was scarce and expensive, and asking that they be hired by someone who would afford them good treatment according to his definition. Later letters include 5 Jan. 1846, Charleston, S.C., from Thomas S. Jones, Deputy Secretary of State, informing Griffin of Gov. William Aiken's pardon of Charles Price and requesting information for the pardon; and 17 Nov. 1852, from J[ames] L[ouis] Petigru, Charleston, S.C., giving his opinion on a case involving "Mr. Hammond" and giving consent to Griffin to serve with him on the appeal.
