| Description | The contents of this file were formerly in a portfolio (14) entitled-
Teasdale / Symes & / Co-
John Coles Symes / 1839 to
In the Inventory of M. R. Boulton's Study Safe, made in 1842, the file is listed as No. 38, under the title-
Teesdale Symes & Co J. C. S. 1839 to
The title suggests that the file formerly contained general letters from the firm, as well as letters from John Coles Symes in particular, but only the latter are now present.
All the letters were dated at Fenchurch Street, where the firm had its office (No. 31). They are arranged in chronological sequence. The summaries in quotation-marks are taken from the contemporary dockets. |
