William Baylies 1776-1865 and Francis Baylies 1783-1852 were brothers and partners in a Massachusetts law firm. William served as a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts in 1809 1813-1817 and 1833-1835; was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1808-1809 1812-1813 and 1820-1821; and a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1825-1826 and 1830-1831.

Holmes's Letters are as follows: 1 Letter to Francis Baylies Member of Congress dated at Boston January 19 1822. Holmes then member of the Massachusetts Executive Council awaits reports of the State legislative committees the incorporation of Boston "which will serve to procrastinate the session" the "suspense of the acceptance of office of the Judge of the Municipal Court" and issues such as criminal trials and the death sentence. "We pass our time here in Boston. the frequent application for appointments of both proper and improper candidates is rather an uncomfortable circumstance; but not so distressing as in affixing the time when convicts shall live no longer. to determine whether a convict shall die or not. It is probable we shall have the trial of both soon as there has been three capital convictions since I was here; one for murder and two for highway robbery. Those trials I attended; a Mr. Simmons formerly of Taunton as I am told managed the Defence; I can not record him as possessing great oratorical abilities but for integrity of arrangement and strength and argument perhaps no man of his years stands higher." Boston was incorporated March 4 1822 and the same year the Boston Police Court for criminal cases and Justice's Court for the County of Suffolk for civil claims were established. 2 Holmes's Letter to Francis Baylies dated at Boston March 28 1822. Holmes notes that the State legislative session is coming to a close. He anticipates orations which would "cause Tully to wish that he hadn't ever learned to speak; and all this for the good of the Nation." 3 Letter to William Baylies Counsellor at Law dated at Rochester MA October 24 1828 docketed October 25. An interesting three pages for lawyers anyway written in small yet legible hand on legal size paper. Holmes discusses with "great anxiety" and detail strategies and implications of the case entitled Rounseville Spooner versus Davis et ux. presentation of which had just concluded in the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Holmes and Baylies had represented Rounseville. Judge Wilde issued his decision on the following day October 25th. The case involved land in Fairhaven conveyed by Alden Spooner to Walter Spooner which later descended to Humphrey Davis's wife; but Alden Spooner later conveyed it again to Rounseville Spooner. What will be done in the case Holmes says "God only knows." Judge Wilde's Opinion reported at page 147 of Pickering's Reports Boston: 1830 gives the victory to Holmes and Baylies. 4 Letter to William Baylies Nov. 21 1828. Holmes discusses his excitement over a favorable verdict. "I rode into the yard. Mr. Bassett's son met me and informed me that the verdict of the jury was in favour of our client. Do you think I was sorry My heart jumped to my throat and with some difficulty I prevented my immortal spirit from bursting thro' the clay tenement. I am glad now that we did not use Joshua Vincent's Deposition for they would have objected and the point next word illegible for the Whole Court./ The next enquiry is Compensation. But I must stop with my hearty congratulations." Docketed on final page in part "Thomas v. D. & wife Nov. 21 1828." 5 Letter to William Baylies dated Rochester MA April 11 1834. A lengthy poignant letter discussing his advanced age and retirement. He no longer views political issues with the same interest; despite his overall good health he is troubled with lameness and currently lives with his son and his son's wife.
