DeWolf Papers, 1751-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/713931532

Two-thirds of this collection is made up of documents and correspondence. These are generally concerned with privateering in the War of 1812, plantation operations, and politics. The bulk are letters addressed to James DeWolf (1764-1837) and his brother John DeWolf (1760-1841). Account books, cargo invoices, bills and receipts make up an unusually small part of this mercantile collection. The privateer Yankee is quite well-documented by eight account books and a log-book. Other financial records include a few slave invoices, plantation records, and bank shares.
