Brown, Jr.) /Subject (Correspondence, financial records, diaries, scrapbooks, account books and memorabilia of the Bristol family of New Haven and New London, Connecticut. The major figures in the collection are the descendants of Simeon Bristol \(1739-1805\); his son, William Bristol, and his grandsons, William Brooks Bristol, and Louis Bristol, all prominent lawyers, judges and members of the state legislature in Connecticut.Nearly a third of the papers is made up of land deeds for New Haven and New London counties \(1765-1854\). The voluminous correspondence \(2,569 letters\) extends over several generations from 1798 to 1879. Of particular interest are the fifty-one letters by Louis Bristol written from Paris to family members and to Timothy Dwight Edwards describing the Revolution of 1830. Between 1829 and 1857 William Brooks Bristol wrote 581 letters to his brother Louis, chiefly on the question of buying and selling railroad stocks. Additional papers of the brothers include records of their law practice, account books and business corrspondence. Also a diary \(1834-1844\) kept by Louis Bristol recording his life as a student at Yale College, his surveying experience and his courtship, together with twenty-nine compositions written while at Yale. Eugene Stuart Bristol, son of William Brooks Bristol, is represented by letter books and extensive financial records \(1869-1873\) documenting his mining operations at Bingham Canyon, Utah.) /Keywords (Manuscripts and Archives, MS 101) /Creator (Apache FOP 2.6) /Producer (Apache FOP Version 2.6) /CreationDate (D:20240328030034-04'00') >> endobj 2 0 obj << /N 3 /Length 3 0 R /Filter /FlateDecode >> stream xgPTY{ MI$$A@wiAQdpFI AFQŀ((N#2"**K٭U[gxsOs[1M:1C H( JN !c sϑ>qyvy%. ʱlN2kwr4;- 8=%1 {iW-o!o\Vk ZkL0+ tj +|iA/o3`?(Of+yS/T7orL@ʿr` QWN = t8@W) Xo9 Ȁ
