Abbott Lawrence (1792-1855) and Amos Lawrence (1786-1852); 25 items of receipts and one letter from the period of 1816-1820 where Abbott Lawrence traveled to England and purchased many items. A letter of correspondence between Amos Lawrence to Abbott instructing him about a particular transaction and also referring other contacts to him. Mentioning also the problem with 'Southern paper….that must be greatly discounted…' telling of the huge disparity in currencies between the North and the South. Lightly toned, some stains and some loss of paper on various items but all legible and in good condition. A rare look into the 19th century buying habits.

The Lawrence's supported various political causes, including anti-slavery (gave money to John Brown) and there are a number of towns in the US named after the family, including Lawrence, Kansas, which became the nucleus of the University of Kansas as well as Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin.The series contains a letter from Amos Lawrence to his younger brother, Abbott Lawrence, dated Oct. 18, 1816 discussing business with him and in particular an offer of merchandise, which Amos has refused and also discusses Southern paper at a great discount…other names mentioned in the letter such as Mr. Appleton and others.
