content: This series contains loose correspondence that relates to the everyday business matters of the Niagara Falls International Bridge Company and the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company.  Some of the main creators and recipients include George L. Burrows, Charles and Carl Riordan, Thomas Reynolds, J.H. Ingersoll, Leffert L. Buck, and Charles E. Fowler.  A sample of topics covered are meeting dates and times, requests for annual bridge passes from community members, and demands for pay increases for both bridge employees and contract engineers.  Because many of the materials in this series are products of internal correspondence, some are without identified authors or dates.  This series, as much as possible, is arranged chronologically except for specific subject files found in the original order of the collection.
