Manuscripts
This collection consists primarily of correspondence and covers all aspects of James M. Smith's family and business life. As such there is considerable correspondence from fellow Buffalo lawyers seeking opinions on legal issues and regarding financial matters such as those dealing with banks, real property, and real estate investment. Among the family correspondence there is a great deal from Smith's father, Harvey Douglass Smith, as well as letters describing the family trip to Europe in 1878. Of particular interest are Smith's notes on the self-appointment of Samuel Cheever (1787-1874) as Albany district attorney in 1837. The breadth and detailed nature of the correspondence represented in this collection illuminates the social life and customs, as well as the church history of Erie County and Buffalo
