The papers of Dr. Asa L. Blanchard, of Northville, Michigan, consist of mostly letters, deeds and receipts for the acquisition and sale of land in Minnesota and Washington (1885-1904). Tax receipts for land in Pierce County, Washington, are complete for the years 1885-1904. Included is an account book for his medical practice (1897-1911). Within this volume is a typed commencement address from 1902. A second account book lists transactions and prices (1847-1856) of an anonymous resident of Wethersfield Springs, Connecticut, who appeared to be a leather worker, midwife and vendor of alcohol.
