Business Correspondence and Papers

This series consists of business correspondence and papers relating to the cases with which John Frederick Lewis was involved. There are also a number of deeds, wills, and contracts relating to various cases. Some letters are addressed to other members of the law firm and there are a few copies of letters sent by John Frederick. At the end of this series, which is arranged chronologically, there are a number of folders containing papers relating to specific cases. As noted, many letters were tipped onto guard pages of a bound filing system, so there are letters on many topics other than business in this series. Tipped-in letters are not always strictly chronological, which is why a few folders repeat the time period of a previous folder.
