      1.67 Linear Feet
      The John J. Peck Papers consist of journal entries, correspondence, and printed material, bound in eight volumes, that document Peck's military and political career.

The latter consists of the Association's Constitution and minutes for the period September 3, 1838-June, 1842.

It is followed by the minutes of the first meeting, September 3, 1838, in Mrs. Walker's hand, and the records of the meetings she attended through August 26, 1840, and an account of the general meeting of June, 1842.
