The documents in this collection relate almost exclusively to McCall's paper mill on the Assunpink Creek in Trenton, NJ. Exceptions to this are an 1856 lease for a farm in Ewing Twp. and correspondence relating to the sale of Ellarleigh Mansion (now Ellarslie Trenton City Museum in Cadwalader Park). Much of the material is directed to or from McCall's attorneys, Philemon and S. Meredith Dickinson, and other agents. |
