Manuscripts
Three deeds enclosed in box: Shakespeare's Deed of Gift to Ireland, 1604; Shakespeare and Lowine, 1609; Shakespeare's Lease to Fraser, 1611. Each deed is written on vellum, with wax seals, and boxed separately. A note enclosed with the Deed of Gift to Ireland reads: "To substantiate his claim to the ownership of the documents, Ireland forged a Deed of Gift from Shakespeare to a suppositious ancestor, also named William Henry Ireland. This is the Original Forgery."
