A group of papers (1865-1872) including insurance policies, receipts, tax returns, and a power of attorney, pertains to a house at 6 Lynch Street in Charleston (S.C.) and a plantation called Hillsboro located west of the Ashley River in St. Andrews Parish (S.C.).

Papers also include bills, accounts, and correspondence (1871-1876) regarding claims against Bissell & Co. (for which Alexander H. Brown acted as assignee); correspondence (1870-1871) among William States Lee, Alexander H. Brown, Wilmot G.
