Ogden Edwards papers
Manuscripts
The Ogden Edwards papers consist primarily of incoming correspondence of Pierpont Edwards and Ogden Edwards, with some other, seemingly unrelated, letters retained evidently for their autograph value. The letters and ephemera date from 1753-1903. Of the 43 letters, many contain annotations identifying famous authors or addressees. The annotations are penned in the same hand as the list of famous historical personages, apparently, a catalog and/or list of collector's wanted items; the names represented in the Edwards collection are ticked off. The rest of the collection are letters retained for their autograph value. This portion consists individual letters by Thomas Gage, Samuel Huntington, Stephen Girard (1750-1831), William Gaston (1778-1844), Oliver Wolcott (1760-1833), William North (1755-1836), and Marie Joseph Lafayette, and indemnification bond to the Overseers of the Poor of Dover Hundred (Delaware, 1761).
