Abstract

This collection contains the law firm's incoming correspondence from 1893 through 1908. It is unsure if this collection represents all correspondence or a sampling from those years. Also in the years from 1907-1908 there is incoming correspondence from a girl, Frances Creighton, who is attending the Pierce Business School. Within her correspondence is evidence that Mr. Emerson C. Harrington was funding her education, however, it is not noted what her family relationship to him was. Included are her school grades, boarding house receipts, letters asking for funds and shorthand schoolwork. Creighton also corresponded with a woman addressed as an Aunt who acted as a connection between herself and Mr. Harrington.

Administrative History

The law firm of Harrington & Mace was located in the Chronicle Building in Cambridge, Maryland. Emerson C. Harrington and W. Irving Mace are the original attorneys at law, however, around 1905, Calvin Harrington joined the firm making it Harrington, Mace & Harrington. Edward H. Nabb, of whom the research center is endowed, interned at this law firm and eventually married Mr. Harrington’s daughter.
