Scope and Contents note
Series 9 contains personal files of Joshua Coffin Chase and includes both family correspondence as well as materials related to Chase's civic and private interests. Of note are the records related to his political interests, his activity as a bank director with Barnett Bank, and his charitable contributions. The latter included the Boy Scouts of America, Rollins College, and the Hungerford School, a school for African Americans in Eatonville. The series also reflects Chase's interest in family history. The last two folders in the series contain letters written by him to his daughter Cecilia Chase Lasbury and were donated by her daughter, Cecilia Lasbury Johnson.
