This material includes four unsigned and undated pages in the hand of Robert Louis Stevenson. The first page is a pencil drawing of a masted ship; the next page begins "The childish old man..." and contains quotes and notes from William Wyatt Gill's "Myths and Songs from the South Pacific" (London : Henry S. King, 1876). The following page is numbered "58" and headed "Part V / Whites and White Influence in the Pacific," which appears to be part of a manuscript held by the Huntington: drafts of "In the South Seas" (mssHM 2421).The final page is a numbered list dealing with debts, mortgages, and bills.

An autograph, signed, and undated letter written from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; contextual details identify the addressee as F. Marion Crawford and date the letter either 1891, February or 1893, March. The letter is addressed to "Dear Sir" and Robert Louis Stevenson admits he did not think very highly of Crawford's work when he first read it; he has now revised that opinion and praises Crawford's writing and career making this a "fan" letter from one celebrated author to another. On the verso of the letter is an extended signed postscript concerning music.
