Abstract
Letters and tax papers deal with lawyer-client matters between Weston attorney Henry Brannon and Boston capitalist, Robert H. Waters. Subjects include Waters' suit against Equitable Oil and Mining Co. and purchase of 1,500 acres on Three Lick Run of Oil Creek in Lewis County, taxation of the property, redemption of the property from its sale for delinquent taxes, tenant relations, the sale of timber, illegal cutting of timber, and efforts to sell the land. Brannon also addresses his 1881 election as circuit court judge and solicits capital investment from Bostonians in support of railroad projects in central West Virginia. Other correspondents are the law firm Angell & Jamison, Festus Williams, and J. G. Vandervort.
