Historical Note
Located in Grafton, Vermont, the Goodridge Soapstone Quarry operated from the 1840's until around 1910. During most of these years, until 1892, the Goodridge family leased the quarry to the Grafton firm of Butterfield and Smith. The collection is made up of correspondence between Sophia Goodridge, owner of the quarry, and Sidney Holmes, her financial advisor, in the years 1874-1896. The letters are primarily concerned with the financial aspects of leasing the quarry, its annual production and future prospects, and Miss Goodridge's desire to sell it. Butterfield and Smith gave up the lease in 1891, and the remainder of the letters (1892-1896) deal with the lease arrangement with (?) Williams of Francestown, New Hampshire. The collection has been arranged chronologically.
