Correspondence, chiefly relating to William E. Green (1777-1865), the son of Dr. John Green (1736-1799), a lawyer. He had three wives and 11 children including Lucy Merriam Green (1810-1893), Lydia Plympton Green (1824-1869), and Andrew Haswell Green (1820-1903) who are represented in the collection as well as materials reflecting William E.
