Scope and Contents

The Braithwaites were a Quaker merchant family from Kendal, friends of Robert Moffat and his son-in-law David Livingstone. One, Joseph Bevan Braithwaite, was a barrister and acted as Livingstone's legal adviser. Livingstone's own letters to him and other members of the family have been dispersed (some are now in MSS. 10768 and 20312). These volumes contain other correspondence and papers, but chiefly concern Livingstone and his letters.
