Scope and Content:

This collection consists of wrapping papers that were wrapped around folded legal documents and, when dated, are primarily dated from the 19th century, though some are dated back to 1742. Each wrapper has a brief notation indicating the topic of the document that was enclosed. All wrappers appear to refer to legislative matters of varying topics and have been organized as such, chronologically in each folder. Topics include legislative matters such as personnel appointments, judicial schedules, taxes, an 1872 amendment to U.S. constitution, and an invitation to dinner with General LaFayette in 1825. Further designation categories include petitions for name changes, military and corporate requests, and items specific to named locations (towns and counties). Each folder has a detailed list of contents on the front of the folder. This information mostly refers to town and county names, with some names of people included.
