TitleCorrespondence
DescriptionThere is no purely private correspondence in this archive;however, since the bank dealt with the affairs of many of the members of the Mortlock family, some details of private life are included in what are principally business letters. Letters occur throughout the archive, and are frequently to be found in SubCollection 509/4, Clients of the Bank, and in SubCollections 509/6 and 509/7, Estate papers. However, there are also letter books and bundles of letters, some of which are 'original' in that they were assembled early on in this archive's history. The cataloguing work done in the 1980s appears to have stopped half-way through a box (709) consisting largely of letter books and bundles of letters, some of which were catalogued under Bank papers and some under Correspondence. In the current system letter books and bundles of letters, all relating to Bank business, have been combined here in one series and arranged chronologically, regardless of to whom (at the Bank) they were addressed. In the early days of the Bank, since John Mortlock was himself synonymous with the bank, no distinction has been made between letters addressed to him personally, and letters addressed to Messrs Mortlock. Even before his death (in 1816) bank correspondence was being addressed to his sons John Cheetham, Frederick Cheetham and Thomas.
