Henry Hall PapersManuscript Collection: MC166
Creator SketchLittle is known about Henry Hall from Boston, Massachusetts who was a treasurer for the Lawrence Manufacturing Company in Lowell, Massachusetts. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteThese papers consist of the correspondence and financial documents of Henry Hall, who was treasurer of the Lawrence Manufacturing Company in Lowell, Massachusetts from 1838 to 1848 which manufactured printed cloth, shirting and sheeting. The Henry Hall correspondence series consists of sent letters, some with billing information, to the following agents: Capt. Israel Whitney, John Aiken and Charles L. Tilden. These provide information on daily activities, operations and transactions between the company treasurer and the agents. However, many of these letters do not include the mentioned billing information as they were either detached or cut out of the document prior to accessioning the papers. The received correspondence is from Robert Means possibly an assistant who provides updates on shipments and deliveries and asks about pending transactions. The Charles L. Tilden general correspondence series consists of three letters dated from 1837 to 1841 referring to his mill sent from John Trudy, Messrs. A. ＆ A. Lawrence, and Charles Mason. There is also a single letter addressed to J. A. [possibly John Aiken] from a P. M. King regarding a recent transaction and billing information. Of note is the printed information titled "Quotations" found on the back of the letter which lists names of banks. The financial series is divided into reports from R. M. Alvin and Rob. Means and bills. The two R. M. Alvin weekly reports, dated in 1835, contain information regarding cotton bales that were opened for different individuals and cloth manufacturing for different mills with prices and pounds included. The nine Rob Means weekly reports also dated in 1835 contain the same information for their corresponding weeks. Bills consist of two bills to Charles L. Tilden from Henry Hall, dated in 1847 and 1848, which include the purchase orders and the amounts due from various individuals. Return to the Table of Contents
