Manuscripts
This typescript includes meeting minutes from the Grantsville School of the Prophet and Theological Class, in Grantsville, Utah. Minutes were recorded on a bi-weekly basis from September 11, 1871 to May 6, 1872, with additional entries from December 1872 and February 1873. Primarily focuses on matters of school policy and finance, but also includes references to marriage, testimony from the Sandwich Islands, and discussion of possible westward travel. Includes a list of names of school brethren from 1871-1873. Minutes were kept by J.R. Clark, secretary. Although entitled "Diaries and Records of Joshua R. Clark and Mary Louis Woolley Clark, 1840-1938," there seems to be nothing here written by Mary Clark, and it appears that portions of the original document are not included.

Manuscripts
Letters written by Vincent Scanlon between April 1898 and August 1902, from several different California cities. All appear to have been written to the same woman, Margaret, who was his romantic interest in 1898 and his wife by 1902. The first two letters, written in 1898 from San Jose, include content about courtship, family relationships, Scanlon's hopes for the future, and his uneasiness about the fact that Margaret works in an office, and a labor strike may interfere with her job. The last three letters, all written in 1902 from San Francisco and Oakland, include references to their family life and Vincent's weariness about his job search, which routinely proved unsuccessful. There are also five canceled stamps which appear to have been cut from the letters' envelopes, though the envelopes themselves are not included.
