This collection consists of 39 items which show some aspect of the economic history mainly in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The sources are diverse, if not random, ranging from stock certificates to deeds to business letters, but they generally seem to offer a good opportunity to explore the connection between some investors in New York and mining industry in the West. The items related to Benjamin F. Morris are conspicuous; his correspondence with the Edgar Gold & Silver Mining Co., William H. Cushman, and his son Charles H. Morris suggests his relations to the mining industry in Kentucky and Colorado. There are also some sources which tell of his business, such as the lease contract regarding the real estate in Colorado with J. V. Harlotte, W. W. Lee, and Alfred Bateman Morris, his own memorandum, and the deed with Benjamin P. Brower.

The papers consist of four boxes of newsletters written by John Packes to Edward Wood and later to Thomas Wood, with the majority of the letters addressed to the latter. The letters and documents are arranged chronologically and concern Wood's business dealings with the East India Company, as well as the prices of food, wine, medicine and miscellaneous utensils and provisions. The letters include information from the middle of the seventeenth century to the end of the seventeenth century. There are also a few documents and letters from other authors than John Pack scattered throughout the collection. Please note: Many of the letters are un-addressed. While most of the letters are most likely written to Thomas Wood, several of them are entitled, "To Sir" and labeled accordingly.
