Its images and links won't load until it's back. Panarchive shows each image straight from the archive's own website, so when that site is down the picture can't be shown here. Nothing is lost: everything returns once the archive is back up, and we check every few minutes.

- Scope & content
- The fonds consists of four letters. Three of the four letters are addressed to James and Elizabeth Firth who lived in Sutton Derwent near York, England. The first letter is dated 15 April 1850 and informs the Firths (his brother and sister) that he and his family are sailing to New York from Liverpool the next day. The second letter, 20 May, informs the Firths of their safe arrival in New York the previous day. The third letter relates the information that the family has settled on a farm of 80 acres in Delevan, Walworth county, Wisconsin. The fourth letter is written by Elizabeth. She notes that her brother died two or three years after settling in Wisconsin. She is attempting to find if any of the family are still living.
