Abstract:
Business letters received, alphabetically arranged, mostly for the 1870's and 1880's; legal papers, especially an 1838 agreement
for carrying on a sutlership in the Cherokee Nation, Tennessee; papers reflecting employee concerns in the Fort Bridger area
from about 1860 and transactions with settlers of the vicinity; papers relating to business transactions with army officers,
or to army personnel; documents concerned with Carter's duties as probate judge of Green River County, Utah, 1858-1867; social
and personal letters received, 1835-1891; two items of special interest being letters by W.A. Carter to his wife from Placerville,
California, August 11, 1850, and from Camp Scott, Utah Territory, March 10, 1858.
Miscellaneous family papers, 1846-1925, include a "diary" made up by Mrs. Groshon from letters of 1858-1859, the originals
of which have largely disappeared; fragmentary original diaries for 1859, 1873, and 1881; and some papers of Mrs. Groshon,
reflecting her work for the Daughters of the American Revolution in Wyoming, ca. 1913-1915.
