Among the correspondents are William C. Bryant, William A. Butler, Salmon P. Chase, Charles P. Clinch, Erastus Corning, Edward C. Delavan, William P. Fessenden, John Jay, David W.

Legal papers extend from 1825 to 1888 and includes articles of partnership, court cases, powers of attorney, and notes for collection.
