Subseries: Additions, 1865-1883 from Brown County Circuit Court
Scope and Content Note: Included with these records were two volumes concerning Morgan L. Martin: a letter press copy book kept by Martin concerning his service as U.S. Army paymaster during the Civil War and primarily his legal practice later; and a scrapbook of letters received by Martin's son Leonard concerning his work as assistant engineer for the Fox River Improvement project of the U.S. government. Correspondents include N.M. Edward, assistant engineer in charge of the improvement; William J. Bryson, assistant engineer; various suppliers of equipment; job applicants; and [N?] W. Blanchard, also employed on the project. Two other items were enclosed with the volumes: two Xerox pages from The Control and Development of the Fox and Wolf Rivers, Wisconsin, 1946, providing a brief history of laws affecting Fox River improvement; and one 1883 letter with the draft of a reply from the senior Martin on the question of whether Spaniards preceded Father Marquette in the exploration of Wisconsin. All of these materials were microfilmed and the originals then sent to the Neville Museum, Green Bay, to be added to their holdings of Martin Papers.

Many other letters have faded writing where the ink came in contact with these strips.
