註釋This collection contains papers and correspondence of Sumner, 1834-1874, including his Harvard Law School diploma, letters relative to speaking engagements, notes of thanks to James B. Syme (1821-1855) and Asa Homan Waters (1808-1887) for their support during his stand on the Fugitive Slave Law, and copies of letters concerning the opinion of Judge Joseph Story (1779-1845) on copyright laws. Also included are letters from individuals in Santa Fe, New Mexico, concerning the Mexican Emancipation Proclamation of 1829, the Unionism of New Mexicans during the Civil War, and the need for Sumner's help in investigating the sale of territorial archives to private interests by New Mexico governor William Anderson Pile (1829-1889). Other letters refer to Sumner's determination to fight slavery and the need for "expurging [sic] bad whites" during Reconstruction.
