- Summary
- Wood Brothers was a New York City carriage manufacturing firm. It was founded in 1828 in Bridgeport, Connecticut as Tomlinson, Wood & Company. Its partner David A. Wood (1806-1874) and his brothers established the firm of Wood Brothers in New York City. The New York City firm was dissolved and succeeded by Messrs. Brown & Pray, former employees, in early 1878, and the Bridgeport firm, by then known as Wood Brothers, was succeeded by Hincks & Johnson. The collection comprises letters received from customers chiefly in the eastern United States, including prominent New Yorkers, dated 1877-1878. Letters, in chronological order, pertain to orders, repairs, and complaints regarding a variety of carriages as well as wagons. A few letters are from carriage makers or those making carriage repairs. The collection includes letters addressed to Brown & Pray.
