The papers of Albert H. Wiggin, banker, member of the Gold
Fund Committee, Class A Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of flew
York, appear to be very scanty. Correspondence in the hands of Mr.
Wiggin1s estate office has been mostly destroyed. Papers -which
served as background for his biography are in the hands of his
daughter, Mrs. Sherburne Prescott. No listing is as yet available.
