http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86102566

The Magee papers consist of correspondence, bills and receipts, invoices of James Magee and his son Horace, both Philadelphia businessmen. Most of the James Magee papers, 1833-1886, relate to his first enterprise, although there is some correspondence with Thomas A. Scott, pertaining to their purchase of the Rock Furnace Company of western Pennsylvania. Correspondents include Henry Horn, Henry Muhlenberg, and Scott. Horace Magee's papers consist mostly of business correspondence, and reflect his intersts in numerous ventures. Among those represented here are the Buffalo Railroad Company, Rochester Street Railway Company, Citezens Street Railroad Company, of Indianapolis, Chambers and Magee Glass Company, and the Bethlehem Steel Company. There are several letters from Bishop Courtland Whitehead concerning the erection of a new church building in Jeanette. Approximately thirty letters from the Bowley's Quarter Ducking Club reflect Magee's sporting interests. Correspondents include: H. M. Watson, H. H. Littel, Nathaniel E. Janney, and H. Sellers McKee.
