Biographical Sketch
Mark Howard was born on May 27, 1817 in Maidstone, Kent, England. When he was thirteen years old, Howard, his parents, and brother emigrated to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Four weeks after their arrival, Howard's father died, leaving instructions that his sons were not to return to England. They remained in Ann Arbor under the guardianship of Judge Dexter.
Howard worked in Ann Arbor as a postmaster, newspaper editor, and he involved himself in Whig politics. At the age of twenty-six, he became a local agent in Ann Arbor for the Protection Insurance Company of Hartford. A few years later, in 1846, Howard moved to Hartford to continue his work in insurance. In 1849 he inspired some confidence in Protection Insurance when, following the St. Louis fire, he went to the city to settle the losses with ready cash.
When the Connecticut legislature incorporated the Merchants' Insurance Company in 1857, Howard was asked to become its president. He agreed on the condition that, in the case of insurance claims, the company would pay the entire capital in cash. The company flourished until 1871, when the Chicago conflagration consumed its assets. Ten days after the fire, former backers of the Protective and Merchants' insurance companies founded the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford and elected Mark Howard as its first president. As president, Howard advanced the idea that full insurance led to indifference and carelessness. He argued that if the insurance company paid three quarters of the loss, insurance rates would be lower insurance rates and loss less due to some risk being felt by the insured.
In addition to his work in insurance, Howard was active in politics and indeed was one of the founders of the Republican Party. He organized a system for collections, and was appointed by Abraham Lincoln to be Connecticut's first internal revenue collector. Howard also made considerable profits in western land deals. From the years 1853 to 1856 alone there are in this collection 103 Military land grants issued by the General Land Office in Washington, D.C.
While still president of the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford, Howard died in his home on January 24, 1887. He was survived by his wife, Angelina Lee Howard, and four children.

Scope and Content
Collection consists largely of letters written to Mark Howard by various business contacts. They cover such topics as stocks, land deals, legal matters, and politics. The early correspondence is almost entirely consumed by financial discussion, both personal and relating to insurance. Included are several letters from Howard's lawyers, Mitchell Eackerand Marcus Osborn. Around 1860, however, there is a change to political letters, which can be seen in the many letters from Gideon Welles and William Faxon. In those years there is also plenty of military correspondence from Marcus Osborn, who was on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico. Howard also kept detailed personal records, ranging from savings for his children to interest on his own accounts. There are receipts indicating how much he spent on specific items of clothing and how much on foodstuffs. Also of interest are two boxes relating to Howard's land grants in what are now the Midwestern states, with particular attention paid to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. There are land deeds, and one box of military land grants Howard bought from former members of the U.S. military from 1853 through 1856. In addition to those mentioned above, notable correspondents include Horace Greeley, James Barnard, James Babcock, Horatio Woodman, Joshua Phelps, James Dixon, and James Edmonds.
Arrangement
Materials are organized into four series based largely on form.

Series II: Receipts, Bills, Accounts, Cheques consists of highly detailed receipts, bills, accounts, and cheques. Includes item-level receipts for household and personal items such as food and clothing, as well as notes on investments.
Series III: Western Real Estate consists of documents relating to Mark Howard's real estate in what are now the Midwestern states; includes deeds, land grants, diagrams of townships, and military land grants bought by Howard.
Series IV: Printed material consists of broadsides, newspaper clippings, and journal articles collected by Mark Howard; subjects include Whig politics, insurance, and western states and territories.
