File Plan
Oliver A. Farwell maintained an alphabetical file system for his correspondence that has been maintained in Subseries 1.2. This alphabetical file consists of both personal and professional correspondence. Parts of this file system had been found with the Farwell family correspondence in Subseries 1.1 and it was decided that it would remain within this subseries. As a result correspondence from family members such as Charlotte Brockway Farwell can be found in both their own files and general family correspondence files.
