Correspondence

The Correspondence series is a combination of personal and Kneeland-Bigelow papers. These papers were originally stored in letter boxes and arranged alphabetically. Some of these materials (those received first) were arranged chronologically. Those letter boxes received subsequently were maintained as an alphabetical file. The correspondence related mainly to business matters although there is much that concerns Lunden's other civic and political interests.
