| 520 | |a This collection contains a vast array of papers that were kept, created, and collected by Philadelphia lawyer William Meredith (1772-1844). Likely mixed among them are papers of Meredith's son, William Morris Meredith (1799-1873), who was also a lawyer. The collection is primarily comprised of opinions and reports related to various court cases, many argued by Meredith, but bills, receipts, and many miscellaneous legal documents can be found throughout the collection, along with a smattering of personal papers. (Most non-legal correspondence rests among the third-party materials in Boxes 15A-D). The papers are very loosely arranged by type. Within the court case papers, names of plaintiffs and/or defendants are on most of the folders. Bills and receipts are roughly arranged chronologically. Third-party papers and miscellaneous documents are arranged in the order found. Many items in the collection remain unsorted and unidentified. | ||
