Scope and content
Jasper Mardon, who had known Taylor in Cambridge, worked for various paper and pulp manufacturing firms in Canada and USA and used Taylor as a consultant. The correspondence deals with miscellaneous problems on which Taylor was consulted, including related reports and calculations and patents arising. The letters sent from firms' addresses are all dated, but some of Mardon's ms. letters from his private houses are undated and are assigned an approximate place in the sequence based on their content. Very few of Taylor's letters survive though it is clear that he was a punctual correspondent when engaged on a project.
