Manuscripts
A.N.S. on a postcard from Edward Gordon Craig to Kerrison Preston; written from Vence (France), where Craig lived for much of his life. The postcard was, apparently, in response to Preston's request for any letters from the artist W. Graham Robertson Craig might have in his possession; Craig also comments on Ellen Terry and the paintings of George Frederick Watts.

Manuscripts
The collection consists of manuscripts by Partington, James Agate, Jessie Conrad, R. B. Cunninghame Grahame, John Kirkby, and H. D. C. Pepler; these manuscripts include articles, essays, personal narratives, poems, and short stories. The correspondence mainly relates to Partington's work with the Bookman's journal, his books about Sir Walter Scott, and his various literary endeavors. The main subjects of these letters reflect the work and interests of Partington, including bibliography, forgery, and the authors Joseph Conrad, Sir Walter Scott, William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Thomas James Wise. There are also letters by Partington, mainly carbon copies, and a small group of letters from his family and friends. The collection also includes his research files and a small amount of ehpemera.
