| 520 | |a Incoming correspondence, business records, estate records, diaries, and miscellaneous family papers of the Freeman and Frost families of Philadelphia. Tristram William L. Freeman, auctioneer, is represented by business correspondence and a few miscellaneous business records, 1835-1848; his brother, Henry G. Freeman, lawyer, by a few business letters, 1847-1848; and Henry Freeman's son, Charles D. Freeman, lawyer, by correspondence, business records, and papers, 1842-1891, on his tenure as a New Jersey land commissioner. The papers of Isabel Freeman Frost, Charles Freeman's daughter, make up the largest part of the collection. They include family and personal correspondence, 1873-1928; papers of the Whist Club of Philadelphia, 1879-1905; a memo book, 1897 apparently by Isabel Frost; diary, 1914; and personal account book, 1880-1819. Her correspondence contains letters from Sarah Augusta Cushing Freeman, her mother; Canfield Darwin Freeman, her brother; Augusta Frost Eisenbrey, her daughter; Emily Louise Phillips Frost, her sister-in-law; and ethnologist, Matilda Coke Evans Stevenson. Her husband, Charles W. Frost, advertising agent, is represented by personal and business correspondence, 1881-1927; records of the Frost Block Company, 1901-1903, a firm organized to manufacture building blocks, toy, and novelties; and some correspondence and miscellaneous financial items, 1896-1897, of City and State, a Philadelphia reform newspaper with which Frost was associated. There is also a diary, 1837, perhaps of Elizabeth Raney Frost; and a diary, 1870-1871 of Mary Ann Dorr Frost, daughter of Elizabeth Frost, about travel in western Europe. | ||
