Manuscripts
Address Book used as an early dictionary/notebook largely on sculptors, but also on monuments and materials (e.g. alabaster 'painting of monuments'). Rather haphazard arrangements; mainly collection of notes. Includes a 1927 letter to Katharine Esdaile tipped in.

Manuscripts
With 4 covers, including one titled "Wills, Patents, etc."--2 front covers and 2 back covers. The book is a thick address book with alphabetical entries for individual sculptors and schools/geographical areas of sculptors and to have nothing to do with 'wills' or 'patents.' This is possibly an early version of the Sculptors Dictionary.
