Manuscripts
William Sullivan papers
- Description
A collection of 74 items from 1795 to 1822, which consists of personal, political, and legal correspondence of William Sullivan; the collection consists entirely of retained copies of his letters. The largest group comprises letters dealing with Sullivan's early legal career from 1796 to 1798, including his involvement in collecting bad debts for General Henry Lee. Also included are letters written by Sullivan to his family during his journey to Philadelphia and Virginia in 1796. The letters dating from 1811 to 1812 contain political correspondence and deal chiefly with the foreign policy and the Federalist strategies for the impending Presidential election.
