ABOUT THE COLLECTION  
Acquisition: The provenance of the collection is unknown, but it appears the library received the letters as a unit, with the exception of one letter and the cloth fragment which were purchased from C.E.H. Whitlock in 1955. It is entirely possible, but not certain, that the library purchased the entire collection sometime earlier from this same source.
