 Series

Scope and Content Note

Volumes in this subseries were designated by Frick's staff for topical, or "special" correspondence. The first volume, "Financial Matters, etc.," contains routine correspondence on matters relating to taxes, club dues, promissory notes and mortgages, bills, stock and bonds, and insurance. Letters in the "Taxes and Insurance" volumes concern property taxes, water rents, and insurance policies and claims, while letters copied into the "Estate" volumes pertain to taxes, employees, bills paid, stocks, and rental properties, including the Frick Building, Frick Building Annex, and Union Arcade Building.

Special letterpress copybooks can also be found in other series among the Frick Family Papers, including an art letterpress copybook in Henry Clay Frick Papers, Series I: Art Files, and volumes pertaining to the construction and furnishing of Frick's residences in New York and Prides Crossing, Mass., in the One East 70th Street and Eagle Rock Papers, respectively.
