Manuscripts

This manuscript volume contains 2,041 office copies of correspondence sent out, mainly, by Symson but also his sons, so the volume is written in several different hands; the letterbook covers just under a decade and includes both business and personal affairs with notes of debts owed and some family correspondence. Shortly after acquiring the letterbook in 1985, the Huntington replaced the contemporary covers which the sale catalogue described as "blind-panelled reverse calf (both covers detached and badly worn);" the original covers were preserved and are housed separately.
