Folder Description | This folder contains both personal and professional correspondences from Increase Allen Lapham written between 1855 and 1863. Also in this folder are several drawings by Lapham and others, essays including "The Grasses of Wisconsin and the Adjacent States of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, the Territory of Minnesota and the Regions about Lake Superior", lectures, and reports. The contents of this folder were transcribed by Lapham's daughter, Julia Alcott Lapham who began in the early 1870s to hand write and then type a chronology of her father's life titled "Autobiography". In the process she destroyed much of Increase Lapham's original correspondence. In the "Notes on Sources" section of the Lapham biography, Studying Wisconsin, the authors comment on the editing and destruction of the original correspondence: "Though she [Julia Lapham] apparently destroyed many original documents, enough remain that we can compare them to her typescript and see that her changes were several types. She corrected her father's spelling errors and punctuation. She omitted some family information that she considered too private. She included almost nothing about his financial or business dealings."
