Ward Papers, and the William Gray Papers. I have contacted you previously but have been sidetracked by an abundance of Ward Family resources at the Massachusetts Historical Society. My efforts are directed at writing a life of George Bucknam Dorr (1853-1944), founder of Acadia National Park. In trying to find a time when my library is closed and yours is open, I wonder if you could tell me whether December 23rd or December 30th are days when your collections and staff are available to assist me with my research.

My interest at that time was focused on Mrs. Charles Hazen Dorr (Mary Ward Dorr) and her ancestry. It is part of my research for a biography of George Bucknam Dorr (1853- 1944), founder of Acadia National Park. I have recently discovered that you also possess the Dorr Family Papers (1794-1865); could you give me some sense of the scope of this collection? I'm trying to arrange my schedule for February to travel to Phillips Library to access these resources. Is there a finding aid available for any of these? Thank you. Ronald H.

Superintendent Small asked whether Dorr/Ward/Gray family papers might be donated by Acadia National Park to his Institute; a letter from NPS Assistant Director Hillery Tolson (12/19/46) also indicated interest in such a transferral. I have uncovered no documentation that such a donation actually transpired. Before I plan a visit to your facility, could you determine whether this information is accurate and whether there might be additional Ward and Gray family manuscipts in your possession, especially those that may have been secured since this memo was written more than fifty years ago. I appreciate the professional courtesy involved in handling this request. Ronald H.

Dorr, over a period of many years, was active in the establishment of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine, and became its first superintendent. He was also interested in Salem Maritime National Historic Site, Salem, Massachusetts, especially because of ancestral associations.

ORANDUM for the Regional Director, Region One: Reference is made to the memorandum of December 11 from Acting Regional Director Cox quoting a paragraph from Superintendent Hadley's memorandum of December 4 concerning historical material relative to Salem from former Super- intendent Dorr's family papers at Acadia National Park. The farilies of Gray and Ward were both important during the brilliant era of Salem shipping and if letters and documents left by Mr. Dorr touch on their business enterprises during this period or even only provide information about their family life and activities, we are sure they would be of consider- able interest and value here in Salem. find that the Essex Institute has the following on the Graya and cards in its collection of manuscripts: Gray, 111 iam and Gray, William, or.

If this is the case, they are for certain well worth further examination. In this connection we would be interested to know whether it is intended to retain all of former Superintendent Dorr's papers at Acadia National Park or whether the pertinent family papers might be available for deposit here at Salem.

If for the seantime the capers are to be kept intact at Acadia, we would be very glad of the opportunity to examine them sometime during the course of the next travel season when it may be possible as it is not now for us to motor down that way. Some further indication 38 to the quantity of the papers relating to the Salem families and the way in which the papers are now preserved or stored would be helpful. 136a, Edwin W. Small Edwin W.

Supt., Korristown MHP Page 1 of 1 Bowditch questions From "Elizabeth Eustis" To Date Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:59:48 -0400 Dear Ronald Epp: My husband Fred Eustis (Ernest Bowditch's grandson via his daughter Elizabeth) and I have intended to respond to your query for some time. We have been distracted and travelling, but I hope it is not too late to be of some assistance. Ernest Bowditch wrote his memoirs, which exist in typescript at the library of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. We have a copy in Milton and there are probably additional copies with other family members. They are informative, opinionated, and entertaining. I can't remember if Dorr turns up in them and at the moment I am writing from Florida. If you remind me to check them after March 25th, I will try to respond promptly! The best published entry on Ernest Bowditch that I know is by Kara Hamley O'Donnell in Pioneers of American Landscape Design, Charles Birnbaum ed. She also wrote a Master's thesis at Cornell on Ernest Bowditch, giving lots of background and focusing primarily on his public parks system in Cleveland. Fred believes that Henry Intersoll Bowditch was probably the uncle of Ernest. He is unaware of any scrapbooks or family collections containing an image of Mr. Dorr. Ernest W. Bowditch changed his name (from William Ernestus?) while he was in college. Fred thinks that Margaret Swann was from Annapolis, Maryland. We are unaware of any Dorr involvement in Bowditch's purchases of land at Isle au Haut. As a landscape architect/engineer he travelled between Boston and Mount Desert Island, stopping in at Isle au Haut out of curiosity at first. His memoirs state the names of the friends with whom he started a club there-Fred doesn't recall an involvement by Dorr, but again we could check. We have the old registers of the Point Lookout Club. Perhaps Dorr's name would turn up there? Fred says that someone approached Ernest and Margaret Bowditch about getting involved in the formation of the national park that later became Acadia-but he doesn't have any particular reason to believe that this was Dorr. This could be checked. I think the real question is what is in the memoirs. Have you seen them? Our telephone number in Milton is 617 333 0915. You now have my email address. Let's pursue any lingering questions after March 25th.

My interest at that time was focused on Mrs. Charles Hazen Dorr (Mary Ward Dorr) and her ancestry. It is part of my research for a biography of George Bucknam Dorr (1853-1944), founder of Acadia National Park. I have recently discovered that you also possess the Dorr Family Papers (1794-1865); could you give me some sense of the scope of this collection? I'm trying to arrange my schedule for February to travel to Phillips Library to access these resources. Is there a finding aid available for any of these? Thank you. Ronald H.

MSS 46, p. 2 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES MILES WARD (1673/4-1764), a Salem joiner and chairmaker, was born in Salem, the second son of Joshua (1641-1680) and Hannah (Flint) Ward. He married Sarah Massey, the daughter of John and Sarah (Wells) Massey, by whom he had all five of his children. After Sarah's death in 1728, Miles married Sarah Ropes, the daughter of William and Sarah (Ingersoll) Ropes. MILES WARD (1704-1792), a Salem joiner and shipping merchant, was born in Salem, the second son of Miles and Sarah (Massey) Ward. His first wife was Elizabeth Webb, the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Phippen) Webb. They had eight children. After Elizabeth's death in 1737, Miles married Hannah (Derby) Hathorne, the widow of Benjamin Hathorne, and they also had eight children. Following in his father's footsteps, Miles began work as a joiner in Salem in the 1720s. However, by 1740, Miles had entered shipping and fishing. He engaged in trade to the West Indies and Europe. Between the 1760s and the 1770s, Miles owned at least five ships and one fishing vessel. Upon Miles's death in 1792, he left an insolvent estate, administered by his son Joshua. JOSHUA WARD (1752-1825) was the son of Miles (1704-1792) and Hannah (Derby) Hathorne Ward. A prosperous Salem shipping merchant, Joshua began his career as partial owner of many privateers during the Revolutionary War. By 1782, his ships had begun trading tobacco, rum, and grains with ports in the West Indies and Europe. Ward's vessels continued to sail mainly to these ports and also to Manila and Africa. While Ward was not primarily known as a slave trader, his activities did include some slave trading. Several of his vessels also participated in fishing voyages. In 1784, Joshua formed a partnership with his nephew Nathan Ward. Acting as an agent for their company in Petersburg, Virginia, Nathan oversaw the purchase, loading, and sale of cargo for ships owned by Joshua. Although the partnership dissolved in 1787, Nathan continued to oversee the purchase and loading of cargo for Joshua until Nathan's death, circa 1792. In 1791, Joshua built a distillery and began exporting New England rum to merchant houses in New York and Europe. He continued to own ships and consign cargo on other vessels until the early 1800s. Joshua, in addition to his career as a shipping merchant, was an ardent patriot and civic servant. His activities in the Revolutionary War include: member of the 1778 expedition to Rhode Island, chairman of the Salem Committee, partial owner of at least eleven privateers or letters of marque, and shareholder in several privateers. Joshua's MSS 46, p. 3 house (150 Washington Street)* was the residence of George Washington during his 1789 visit to Salem. When the War of 1812 began, Joshua helped finance at least three privateers. Joshua served the town of Salem as a selectman in 1810. He was on the committee to establish the Salem-Danvers Aqueduct in 1796 and later served as its director. He was the secretary to the Federal Office and a part owner of the Salem Register. Joshua and his first wife, Sarah Lander, had four children. After Sarah's death in 1809, Joshua married Susan (Hall) Magee. His son Joshua (1776-1840) married Susanna Holyoke, the daughter of Dr. Edward Augustus Holyoke. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Although the WARD FAMILY PAPERS extend from 1718 to 1946, the bulk of the papers ranges from 1740 to 1825. They include the joiner and chairmaking account books of Miles Ward (1673/4-1764) and the shipping, business, and legal papers of Miles Ward (1704-1792) and his son Joshua Ward (1752-1825). The remainder of the collection contains personal and business papers for the descendants of Joshua Ward (1699-1779), Miles Ward (1704-1792), John Ward (1707-1787), and Ebenezer Ward (1710-1791). The collection has been arranged in four series: MILES WARD (1673/4- 1764) ACCOUNT BOOKS, MILES WARD (1704-1792) PAPERS, JOSHUA WARD (1752-1825) PAPERS, and WARD RELATIVES' PAPERS. The MILES WARD (1673/4-1764) ACCOUNT BOOKS, 1718-1755, contain his accounts and a few receipts for his Salem business as a joiner. The MILES WARD (1704-1792) PAPERS, which include his shipping, business, and legal papers, range from 1729 to 1799. The Shipping Papers contain the ships' papers for vessels he owned and for those on which he consigned cargo. His ships primarily sailed to the West Indies and coastwise America carrying rum, molasses, grains, and other cargoes. While the ships' papers, arranged alphabetically, include the bills of lading, masters' and merchant house correspondence, ships' orders, crew lists, accounts, and receipts for specific vessels, the miscellaneous shipping papers contain all records for more than one ship or unidentified ships. Outfitting papers contain accounts and receipts for the building and repairing of Miles's ships. Miles Ward's daybooks and ledgers comprise the bulk of the Business Papers. They contain accounts for cargo, ships' voyages, and his local mercantile business from *Now numbered 148 Washington St., the location of the Higginson Book Company. MSS 46, p. 4 1740 to 1789. Also contained in the Business Papers are miscellaneous accounts and receipts for Miles's wharves, warehouses, cargoes, and domestic concerns (1734-1790). His legal papers include deeds for land, wharves, and a pew, accounts of contributions to the salary of Rev. Dudley Leavitt, Miles's 1790 will, and his estate papers. The JOSHUA WARD (1752-1825) PAPERS, 1773-1832, include shipping and business papers for Joshua's mercantile and distillery businesses. Joshua's Shipping papers, which span the years 1775 to 1832, include records for vessels owned by or which carried cargo for Joshua to ports in Europe, the West Indies, Africa, and coastwise America. Ward's ships were involved in such activities as privateering (in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, see Appendix 2), fishing voyages, and West Indies and European trade. The Shipping Papers are arranged in three subseries: ships' papers, general shipping papers, and shipping and merchant house correspondence. The ships' papers, which are arranged alphabetically, contain ships' orders, crew lists, invoices, bills of lading, accounts of sales, portledge bills, and merchant house and captains' correspondence. Several aspects of this subseries are worthy of note. At least one of Ward's ships was involved with slave trading. Correspondence to the captain of the Brig FAVORITE (Jan. 10, 1787 and July 14, 1787) gives instructions on the purchase and sale of a cargo of slaves. A muster roll pamphlet for the Brig TYRANNICIDE lists crew members returned to England from prize vessels captured by the brig. The general shipping papers include miscellaneous shipping papers, account books, insurance accounts, outfitting papers, and papers of Joshua's business partners. Receipts, accounts, agreements, and correspondence referring to the building, repairing, and outfitting of ships are located in the outfitting papers. The Nathan Ward Papers contain primarily letters and invoices from Nathan to Joshua, which refer to the purchase, sale, and loading of cargo. Correspondence from Nathan continues past the 1787 dissolvement of their firm. Included in these folders (B12, F5-6) are the legal agreement for the establishment of their firm and the lease of their Petersburg, Virginia, store. One folder (B12, F7) contains letters to Nathaniel Appleton and Nathan Frye, partners with Joshua in many shipping ventures. The shipping and merchant house correspondence is filed alphabetically by firm name (see Appendix 3) and includes correspondence, accounts, and ship's papers from foreign and American merchants. Correspondence from Ichabod and Nathan Nichols (B15, F1), merchants in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, discusses the loading of cargo and readying of vessels for sail, many of which were privateers. Letters from Joseph Bass (B13, F1), Joshua's brother-in-law, include personal information as well as business. The miscellaneous shipping correspondence includes letters from captains of unidentified vessels and letters from J. B. LaMarque (1795-1796), which describe political events in Europe and America (B16, F7). MSS 46, p. 5 The Business Papers include correspondence, distillery receipts, accounts, and legal documents, miscellaneous receipts, account books, and legal documents. Because Joshua's primary business concern was the import and export of West Indian goods and New England rum, most of his business correspondence in some way reflects this pursuit. Correspondence located here may, therefore, pertain to the shipping business, but it does not, however, specifically discuss cargo or ships. Additional letters concern the distillery, the Salem Register, and the Federal Office. The folder of legal documents for the distillery (B17, F7) contains permission to build the distillery and deeds for its sale. Joshua's account books contain accounts for his cargo, ships' voyages, distillery, and domestic concerns. The legal documents include sale of the Salem Register, probate of his will, and an inventory of his estate (B22, F11). The WARD RELATIVES' PAPERS, which are divided into four groups, contain the papers of Joshua Ward (1699-1779) and his heirs; the heirs of Miles Ward (1704- 1792); the heirs of John Ward (1707-1787); and the heirs of Ebenezer Ward (1710-1791). Included in the papers of Joshua Ward (1699-1779) and Heirs are shipping papers for Joshua (1699-1779), shipping and personal papers for his son Richard (1741-1824), and personal correspondence for his great-grandchildren George Atkinson Ward (1793- 1865) and Sophia Langdon Ward (1855- ). Joshua Ward's (1699-1779) shipping papers (B22, F12) contain ship's papers for the Sch. BEAVER. These include bills of lading, portledge bills, invoices, accounts, and receipts. The papers of Joshua's son Richard (1741-1824) primarily contain letters written by Richard while master of the Brig LOUISA from 1809 to 1810 and account books for his mercantile business from 1780 to 1784. George Atkinson Ward's (1793-1865) papers (B23, F1) include a personal historical memorandum book that contains such entries as past minister's ordinations, orations by local officials and ministers, and notations of historical events. Contained in the Sophia Langdon Ward (1855- ) Papers (B23, F2) are her 1869 letters to her friend Charlotte Nichols that discuss Sophia's adolescent concerns and infatuations. Papers for the Heirs of Miles Ward (1704-1792) contain documents of Miles's heirs by his first wife: his grandson Nathan (d. ca. 1792), great-grandchildren Frederick Townsend Ward (1831-1862) and Elizabeth Colburn Ward (1839- ), and Miles's heirs by his second wife: his son Nathaniel (1746-1768), grandson Joshua (1776-1840) and his wife, Susanna (Holyoke) Ward, and their children Mary Holyoke Ward (1800- ), Elizabeth Holyoke Ward (1804-1851), and Joshua Holyoke Ward (1808-1848). The Nathan Ward (d. ca. 1792) Papers (B23, F3) contain his business and personal correspondence. Of note is the June 17, 1779 letter from John Rowe to Nathan and other Salem merchants describing the effects of the Revolution upon Salem trade, and the May 21, 1785 letter from his uncle Goodale informing Nathan of the deaths of Mrs. Safford and Nathan's brother Miles. Additional business papers from Nathan's partnership with his uncle Joshua Ward (1752-1825) are located in Box 12, Folders 5-6. MSS 46, p. 6 Among the Frederick Townsend Ward (1831-1862) Papers (B23, F4) are a printed description of his death in China and several photographs. The Susanna (Holyoke) Ward and Mary Holyoke Ward almanac/diaries contain their interleaved diary entries along with the yearly almanacs. The entries include notations of visits and personal expenses. The Joshua Holyoke Ward (1808-1848) Papers include Joshua's 1842 appointment as Justice of the Peace, a genealogical letter from a relative, accounts of his estate, and correspondence he acquired as agent for the heirs of Silence Eliot (B25, F4-5). Of note in the Papers of Andrew Abbot Ward (1828- ), an heir of John Ward (1707-1787), are the 1875 Salem High School printed exercises for various subjects (B25, F6). The Papers of the Heirs of Ebenezer Ward (1710-1791) include shipping correspondence for Ebenezer Jr. (1738-1773), deeds, business papers, and estate papers for his son Miles (1744-1796), correspondence to Miles Ward (1805-1848) and Joseph Chipman Ward (bp. 1773-1832), and Chipman Ward (1813-1861) correspondence. Also included here are the Miles Ward (1805-1848) diaries describing his life and study before entering Harvard College (V. 58-59).

He removed to Boston, became a state senator, and in 1810 was elected lieutenant governor.--His wife, Elizabeth Chip- ' man, born in Essex County, Massachusetts, in May, 1756; died in Boston, 24 September, 1823, married Mr. Gray in 1782. Although the wife of the richest ( man in Massachusetts, and probably in New England, she managed her ( domestic affairs personally. A portion of her time was devoted to the poor, who ] were the constant recipients of her benefactions.--Their son, Francis Ealley, lawyer, born in Salem, Massachusetts, 19 September, 1790; died in Boston, 29 December 1856, was graduated at Harvard in 1809. He studied law with William Prescott, but did not practise his profession. He was private secretary to John Quincy Adams while the latter was minister to Russia, and served frequently in the Massachusetts legislature. He was president of the Boston athenaeum, and a fellow of Harvard in 1826-'36. In 1841 the degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by Harvard. He left a collection of 3,000 rare engravings, with $16,000 for keeping it in order and publishing a catalogue. He also left $50,000 for the establishment and maintenance of a museum of comparative zoology. The bestowal of these bequests was left to the option of his nephew, William, and the latter presented them to Harvard in 1858, and also contributed $25,000 for the purchase of books for the College library. The sum for the establishment of a museum was supplemented by legislative appropriation and private subscription, and a building erected, which was dedicated in November, 1859, and placed in charge of Professor Louis Agassiz. Mr. F. C. Gray published numerous orations and addresses, and a work on "Prison Discipline" (Boston, 1847). He discovered a manuscript copy of the Massachusetts "Body of Liberties" of 1641, which was published in the "Collections of the State historical society (3d series, vol. viii.). Gray's Hall, one of the buildings of Harvard, was named for these benefactors of the college.--Another soil, John Chipman, lawyer, born in Salem, Massachusetts, 29 December 1793; died in Boston, Massachusetts, 3 March, 1881, was graduated at Harvard in 1811. He never practiced law, but took an active interest and part in public affairs, serving many years in the common council of Boston, and in each branch of the Massachusetts legislature, and in the governor's council. He delivered an oration for the Phi Beta Kappa society in 1821, and address before the Massachusetts horticultural society, and a number of addresses before the City authorities.-Horace, grandson of William, jurist, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 1828, was graduated at Harvard in 1845, and at the law-school in 1849. He was admitted to the bar in 1851. In 1854 he was appointed reporter of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, and served for seven years.

They do not appear in our manuscript catalog the way you cited them because of reorganizations that have occured in the last 50 years. I am not sure that I could find a specific item for you, and thus I suggest that you come to the library to review the holdings. What you are interested in is Mss 46, Ward Family Papers, 1718-1945 which consists of 24 boxes and 59 volumes. There are several archives of Gray papers, but you are probably interested in the William Gray Papers, 1781-1840 (Mss 115) which consists of 1 box and 1 volume. The library is open Tues., Wed. and Fri. 10-5 and Thurs. 1-8. Anyone on duty in the Reading Room will be able to assist you. If there is anything else I can do for you before your visit, do not hesitate to contact me.

Mr. Dorr is the son of Mary Ward Dorr (wife of Charles Hazen Dorr) a member of the Ward and Gray families that were so important during the era of Salem shipping. The National Archives contains a letter dated 17 December 1946 from Salem Maritime National Historic Site Superintendent Edwin W. Small drirected to the NPS Regional Director (Region One) that details some manuscripts held by the Essex Institute relative to the Ward and Gray families: William Gray and William Gray Jr. Letters (1804-1852), John Ward, Receipts, (1821-1822) Joshua Ward, Bills, Invoices, Letters, etc. (1858-1839) Miles Ward, Commercial (1699-1819) Ward Family, Commercial (1709-1832). Superintendent Small asked whether Dorr/Ward/Gray family papers might be donated by Acadia National Park to his Institute; a letter from NPS Assistant Director Hillery Tolson (12/19/46) also indicated interest in such a transferral. I have uncovered no documentation that such a donation 2/24/2003 Page 2 of 2 actually transpired. Before I plan a visit to your facility, could you determine whether this information is accurate and whether there might be additional Ward and Gray family manuscipts in your possession, especially those that may have been secured since this memo was written more than fifty years ago. I appreciate the professional courtesy involved in handling this request. Ronald H.

Spindler May, 1988 Volume: 2 Boxes: 1 linear ft. PROVENANCE: The Dorr Family Papers are a reorganization of two boxes of manuscripts, two waste books and one account book purchased from an antique dealer in Carlisle, Massachusetts in 1970 [Accession # 19,318]. CONSERVATION: The bulk of the Dorr Family Papers have received no conservation. COPYRIGHT: Requests for permission to publish material from this collection must be submitted in writing to the Librarian of the Phillips Library at the Peabody Museum of Salem. PROCESSING: Processing and conservation of this collection was funded in part by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. Dorr Family Papers, p. 2 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH EBENEEZER DORR (1739-1809) was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1739. He was initially a leather dresser in Boston and later established a store at 27 Long Wharf. He formed a mercantile partnership with Caleb Davis of Boston as early as 1761. Dorr married Abigail Cunningham in 1762, and they raised at least four sons before Abigail's death in 1798. Their sons JOSEPH DORR (1767-1831) and JOHN DORR (1770-1855) became shipping partners, and in 1796 they maintained an office at 10 Kilby Street, Boston. ANDREW C. DORR (1772- ?) was involved in the family shipping business, but his role has not been precisely defined. SULLIVAN DORR (1778-1858) was the family's agent in Canton from 1799-1803. In 1804 he returned to America and married Lydia Allen of Providence, Rhode Island. He eventually became President of the Washington Insurance Company and a Trustee of Brown University. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The DORR FAMILY PAPERS are composed of ships papers, correspondence, account books, bills and receipts associated with Ebeneezer Dorr, his sons John and Joseph and other family members. Although the papers extend from 1781-1865, the bulk of the collection is related to the family's shipping activities from 1793 to 1825. The DORR FAMILY SHIPS PAPERS contain documents related to vessels owned or chartered by members of the Dorr family that sailed to South America, Europe and Canton. The papers of ship Astrea are comprised of a 1789 agreement and invoice for a cargo of furs to be transported and sold at Canton by James Magee. Material associated with ship Esther concerns the condemnation of the vessel at Lima in 1823 for an alleged violation of Peruvian trade regulations. [See the Appendix for additional information on the voyages of Dorr vessels.] The EBENEEZER DORR PAPERS include correspondence, bills, receipts and Elias Norberry Estate Papers. The earliest correspondence is largely related to trade at Amsterdam with the Akker and Heineken merchant house. Other correspondence includes letters from Joseph and Andrew C. Dorr on family shipping activities. [Throughout this collection correspondence between family members has been filed with the recipient.] The bills and receipts in this section are mostly for personal expenses. The JOHN DORR PAPERS are comprised of correspondence, account books and some miscellaneous papers. Most of the earliest letters are those written by Joseph Dorr while in Paris and London. Joseph apparently acted as shipping agent for the family business in those cities, and his correspondence is associated with market conditions in Europe and the progress of specific purchases and sales. Letters from Henry and Sullivan Dorr contain some personal information and news of friends and acquaintances. In addition Sullivan Dorr's letters from 1843-46 concern the progress of negotiations on claims against the Peruvian government for losses on the 1821-23 voyage of ship Esther. John Dorr's Waste Books contain shipping and business accounts for a number of vessels. There are also entries for real estate transactions, the Ebeneezer Dorr Estate and accounts of John Jacob Astor in the two volumes. Dorr Family Papers, p 3 The JOSEPH DORR correspondence is mostly from Ebeneezer and John regarding European shipping activities. Of particular interest are the letters from Richard J. Cleveland (1812, 1822) supporting the initiation of hostilities in the War of 1812 and discussing the relative merits of marriage and bachelor life. The MISCELLANEOUS FAMILY PAPERS are comprised of a deed to Amy Dorr for land in Medfield from the Joseph Plimpton Estate (1799) and a copy of a single letter from Sullivan Dorr to William S. Wetmore of Lima, Peru. The MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS include accounts for an unidentified house, a copy of the decree of the "Supreme Director of Chile" concerning reform of commercial regulations (1822) and a copy of a "convention" between the United States and Peru dated 1846.
