Conditions Governing Access

The collection is open for research use.

Some documents are fragmented and brittle, especially in box 69. Bound letter books and account ledgers (volumes) are all in poor condition with damage to spines and covers. Onionskin paper inside volumes is extremely fragile. In some of the volumes, the ink has faded greatly, making many of the letters very difficult to read or completely illegible. Handle with care.
