Erving on Morris's unofficial diplomatic service in Spain; correspondence, 1817-1818, with John A. Morton on financial and personal matters; correspondence, 1827-1834, relating to his plan to establish an agricultural school at Bolton after the methods of Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg. Additional papers, 1823-1894, consist of miscellaneous accounts, receipts, legal papers, some correspondence of James Pemberton Morris and Phineas Pemberton Morris, all on the farm operations and financing. |
