Information about the collection and the Grosh family
Manuscripts
The bulk of the collection consists of letters that John W. Grosh wrote to his mother Sarah Lorentz Grosh, sister Fanny Grosh Bender, and brother Jacob L. Grosh in the course of his military service. Regular and richly detailed letters were posted from Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia; there are no letters for the period between August 20 and October 15, 1862. The group also includes a few letters from Jacob L. Grosh to his brother and letters from Fanny's uncles Daniel J. Grosh and William H. Grosh. The letters contain a small "diary for the month of May 1862 Co. A. 79th Regiment P.V." and a pencil drawing titled "Interior of Tent No. 2 of Co. A 79th Regt. P.V. Encampment near Nashville, Tenn. March 16 1862." Also included is manuscript titled "History of the Campaign for the spring of 1864 by the 66th N.Y. V. Vols. Written by Edward H. Cornell on the 21st of December 1864" (this is most likely Edward H. Connell, of Co. I; he enlisted under that name and changed it to Cornell at the time of the discharge in 1865). There is one letter written by John W. Grosh while in prison (1863, October 24) letting his mother know that his death was a false report and that he was alive and has been "treated as well as a prisoner of war can expect." Several of Grosh's letters are written on illustrated (patriotic) stationery or have an illustrated envelope.

Thomas Adams papers
Manuscripts
The collection is made up of account books, notes, articles of agreement, and correspondence. The three account books include a postage posted volume and two cash account books (1764-1766). The three articles of agreement are drafts of agreements regarding land in Blanchland and Hexham (1772). Also included are 15 notes kept by Thomas Adams regarding his two favorite dogs: William the Lion and Sancho (1792-1806). There are ninety pieces of correspondence (1793-1795) between Thomas Adams, George Wood, Clayton & Walters, Kirton & Grey, Edward Blonk and Robert Hopper Williamson. The correspondence deals with the possible enclosure of Allendale and Hexhamshire Commons. The Crewe Trust (Adams was their lawyer, George Wood was their agent) was disputing this action and wanted to make sure they did not lose out when the lands were enclosed. Many of the letters deal with the attempt to bring all the parties together to discuss the subject, but to no avail. The correspondence includes the letters received by Adams, as well as kept drafts of his replies.
