Account books, correspondence and documents from Fahnestock's years with Jay Cooke, 1862-1877, and with the First National Bank of New York, 1877-1914, as well as from his investments on his own account. There are two journals, 1852-1857, from his Harrisburg period. During his years with Cooke and with Baker, Fahnestock and Garland, which controlled the First National, he corresponded with senators, state officials and businessmen on financial and policy matters, such as the Virginia Deferred Securities matter and the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. His investments involved him in railroads, waterworks, including the Reading, the Tide Water Company, and the Oregon Steam Navigation Company
