Subseries B. Letters Received is comprised of letters related to business matters, particularly shipping and commerce, and land and lumber in Maine.

Additionally, approximately a dozen letters from Cyrus Alger, a Boston metallurgist and inventor, dating from August 1833 to May 1834 can be found in this subseries.
