In 1821, Gray became a partner in Gray\n         \u0026 Pankey and, twelve years later, established his own\n         firm, Willima Gray \u0026 Co. He directed the company's\n         operations until his death in 1863.","Letters received by William Gray \u0026 Co. are typical of\n         those written by factors; they acknowledge the receipt of\n         tobacco shipments and of drafts on account and give the\n         general market conditions as well as the status of the\n         manufacturer's brands. Many 1837 letters, especially those of\n         Cornelius DuBois \u0026 Co., describe the financial panic of\n         that year. A letter from D. W. Kennedy of the Northern Bank of\n         Tennessee on 2 February 1858 describes the murder of Gray's\n         partner, Joseph H. Harris, and subsequent lynching of the\n         accused slave. An 1859 letter from the New York firm of\n         Sawyer, Wallace \u0026 Co. discusses northern reaction to the\n         capture and execution of John Brown.","Through the Gilliat houses of London and Liverpool, Gray's\n         tobacco reached markets in continental Europe and Africa.\n         Because of this, Gilliat's letters often discuss the\n         international climate and its effect on the tobacco market.\n         These letters are especially noteworthy during the 1861-1863\n         period, when they give a good assessment of English merchant\n         opinion and reaction to secession, Lincoln's call for troops,\n         the blockade, and the Trent Affair. Occasionally, personal\n         letters appear among this correspondence; in 1858, for\n         example, Algernon Gilliat toured the United States and wrote\n         Gray concerning his observations and reactions.","A 1 Jan. 1868 letter from Methodist minister James A.\n         Riddick concerns Reconstruction and the Underwood convention.\n         Another from Methodist minister, William B.

The company's papers, filed in box 7, include\n         letters, accounts, and miscellany. Several accounts pertain to\n         the purchase of cotton. Miscellany includes shipping\n         agreements and a power of attorney.","The papers of William Gray \u0026 Co., which constitute the\n         bulk of this collection, consist of letters, accounts, checks,\n         tobacco circulars, prices-current and cash and tobacco receipt\n         books. Letters, which are arranged alphabetically by year, are\n         primarily from northern and European tobacco agents (or\n         \"factors\"). Major factors include: William H. Gilliat and its\n         successor John K. Gilliat \u0026 Co. (London and Liverpool),\n         Cornelius DuBois \u0026 Co. (New York), and John Wilson \u0026\n         Co. (New York). A more extensive, although by no means\n         complete, index of Gray's correspondents appears below.\n         Although primarily a shipper of tobacco, Gray was involved at\n         various times in its manufacture, and there are some letters\n         addressed to Samuel Hardgrove \u0026 Co., a manufacturing firm,\n         during the 1837-1844 period. In 1856, Gray went into\n         partnership with Joseph H. Harris to establish a tobacco\n         stemmery in New Providence, Tennessee. Although Harris was\n         killed two years later, Gray retained his ties to New\n         Providence. There are letters addressed to Joseph H.

These are arranged\n         chronologically. Cash books list deposits and withdrawals from\n         the Bank of Virginia, 1845-1853, and the National Exchange\n         Bank, 1865-1868. The tobacco receipt books of Joseph H. Harris\n         \u0026 Co. contain only several entries and are undated,\n         although they would be from the 1856-1858 period. Listings of\n         prices-current, mostly from Liverpool, Mobile and New Orleans,\n         contain market information on tobacco and other commodities,\n         particularly cotton. Circulars are mostly from Liverpool and\n         New York and pertain primarily to tobacco and cotton.","The folder of miscellany (box 21) contains several items of\n         note.

Many 1837 letters, especially those of\n         Cornelius DuBois \u0026 Co., describe the financial panic of\n         that year. A letter from D. W. Kennedy of the Northern Bank of\n         Tennessee on 2 February 1858 describes the murder of Gray's\n         partner, Joseph H. Harris, and subsequent lynching of the\n         accused slave. An 1859 letter from the New York firm of\n         Sawyer, Wallace \u0026 Co. discusses northern reaction to the\n         capture and execution of John Brown.","Through the Gilliat houses of London and Liverpool, Gray's\n         tobacco reached markets in continental Europe and Africa.\n         Because of this, Gilliat's letters often discuss the\n         international climate and its effect on the tobacco market.\n         These letters are especially noteworthy during the 1861-1863\n         period, when they give a good assessment of English merchant\n         opinion and reaction to secession, Lincoln's call for troops,\n         the blockade, and the Trent Affair. Occasionally, personal\n         letters appear among this correspondence; in 1858, for\n         example, Algernon Gilliat toured the United States and wrote\n         Gray concerning his observations and reactions.","A 1 Jan. 1868 letter from Methodist minister James A.\n         Riddick concerns Reconstruction and the Underwood convention.\n         Another from Methodist minister, William B. Rowzie, describes\n         conditions in Danville in the final days of the Civil War.","In 1821, William Gray entered into partnership with his\n         brother, James Gray, and Loring Young Pankey, in operating a\n         tobacco shipping and manufacturing firm under the name Gray\n         \u0026 Pankey. The company's papers, filed in box 7, include\n         letters, accounts, and miscellany. Several accounts pertain to\n         the purchase of cotton. Miscellany includes shipping\n         agreements and a power of attorney.","The papers of William Gray \u0026 Co., which constitute the\n         bulk of this collection, consist of letters, accounts, checks,\n         tobacco circulars, prices-current and cash and tobacco receipt\n         books. Letters, which are arranged alphabetically by year, are\n         primarily from northern and European tobacco agents (or\n         \"factors\"). Major factors include: William H. Gilliat and its\n         successor John K. Gilliat \u0026 Co. (London and Liverpool),\n         Cornelius DuBois \u0026 Co. (New York), and John Wilson \u0026\n         Co. (New York). A more extensive, although by no means\n         complete, index of Gray's correspondents appears below.\n         Although primarily a shipper of tobacco, Gray was involved at\n         various times in its manufacture, and there are some letters\n         addressed to Samuel Hardgrove \u0026 Co., a manufacturing firm,\n         during the 1837-1844 period. In 1856, Gray went into\n         partnership with Joseph H. Harris to establish a tobacco\n         stemmery in New Providence, Tennessee.
