Manuscripts
A collection of 336 items from 1681 to 1847, it consists of the political and personal correspondence of Timothy Pitkin: letters addressed to him and drafts of his letters. The correspondence discusses various political, diplomatic, and economic topics, including the Thomas Jefferson-Aaron Burr election; impeachment of Samuel Chase; foreign policy; the War of 1812; the Hartford convention; presidential elections; Louisiana affairs; commerce; banking; internal revenue; and patent legislation. Also included are letters related to Pitkin's historical studies. Correspondents include John Quincy Adams, Simon Baldwin, Theodore Dwight, Chauncey Goodrich, Bela Hubbard, William Stedman, John Treadwell, Eli Whitney, and others. Also included are a few earlier items, apparently from the files of William Pitkin (1694-1769) who was the colonial governor of Connecticut and grandfather of Timothy Pitkin.
