John Bonsall Porter was born in Glendale, Ohio, and graduated from Columbia University in 1882. After a year as instructor in mining at the University of Cincinnati, he returned to Columbia to earn his Ph.D. (1884). Twelve years of professional work ended in 1896 with his appointment as Macdonald Professor of Mining and Metallurgy at McGill, a position he held until his retirement in 1927.
These scattered items of correspondence deal with Porter's resignation from the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Co. (1892), stock purchases (1907) and other financial matters (1927-1928).
