Papers of Jerome R. Brigham, a Milwaukee attorney. The early papers consist largely of personal letters from former schoolmates at Amherst College and from relatives including his brother-in-law, Horace G. Bliss, in regard to real estate matters and the large farm at Blue Mounds, Wis., owned jointly with Bliss, and from the operators of the farm. Present for 1854-1855 are typewritten copies of letters written by prominent orators of the day to Brigham while he was secretary of the lecture committee of the Milwaukee Young Men's Association. Beginning about 1859, there are scattered letters on political subjects, including several from John F. Potter, relating to the election of 1860 and secession and occasional letters from Horace Rublee in regard to Wisconsin and national party matters and politics and to the Milwaukee Sentinel. Some letters of Senator Timothy O. Howe relate to the patronage aspects of the struggle between President Johnson and Congress. In the early 1870s, there are letters to Brigham in his capacity as a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, relating to the presidency of Dr. John H. Twombly.
