Manuscripts
A collection of 1,194 items which consists of correspondence, manuscripts, and ephemera (1760-1820); the letters are primarily addressed to Edward Jerningham. Also included are miscellaneous notes and compositions, and one piece of verse titled "The queen of diamonds to Miss Jerningham;" of note is a letter from Thomas Jefferson (1789) thanking Jerningham for a copy of "Enthusiasm." This collection of Jerningham's correspondence was drawn upon by Lewis Bettany for his "Edward Jerningham and his friends," (London, 1919); a penciled number at the bottom of the first page of a letter indicates the page in Bettany's book where the letter is printed. Correspondents represented in the collection include, among others: Anna Letitia Barbauld, Lady Mary Beauchamp-Proctor, William Beville, John Henry Colls, Anne Seymour Damer, Antoine Desca, Elizabeth Hervey, Frances Villiers (Countess of Jersey), Anna Riggs Miller, Elizabeth Robinson Montagu, Robert Potter, Anna Seward, Percival Stockdale, William Tasker, William Johnston Temple, Horace Walpole, and Helen Maria Williams.
