Previous owner housed telegrams and envelopes between glassine paper with the glassine paper being stapled to gray paper covers. Telegrams and envelopes are various colors and sizes, most are handwritten with the exception of those sent in 1913 which have been typed. Most are on white or yellow paper with telegraph company's header in red, blue or black at top of telegram. Most are in very good condition with little wear or soiling but are fragile. A few have pencil marginalia and light soiling to edges. Locations of the 70 telegraph companies included in this set range from Nova Scotia to California. The American Telegraph Company and the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company have the most telegrams in this set. The content of most telegrams are business dealings and family matters. Telegrams of note include those sent to or by Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of Treasury under President Taft and his brother Isaac Wayne MacVeagh, U. S. Attorney General under Presidents Garfield and Arthur. Another name of note is H. W. Corbett who managed a successful hardware and farm supply business and was a U. S. Senator from 1867-1873. A few telegrams are coded and there are some referring to the trade of Oolong tea and Sumatra coffee. As seen from this varied set, telegraph technology had profound social and economic effects. Please call for complete list of telegraph companies included in set.
