Description: This collection contains the papers of Beatrice Spring Borchardt, chiefly relating to her research into her family's history, which included members of the Spring, MacKaye, Johns, and Peet families. Manuscript materials include unpublished drafts of biographical works by Borchardt about the family including writer Cloudesley Johns and his friendship with author Jack London; drafts of an autobiography by her grandmother Rebecca Buffum Spring; Borchardt's own unpublished biography of Spring entitled "Lady of Utopia"; a childhood journal (14 pages) of Arthur Loring MacKaye, dated from 1872 to 1885; a typescript copy of a poem, "Moods of Madness: Words," by Francis S. Saltus; and some miscellaneous pieces by Johns and his mother, Jeanie Spring MacKaye Peet, Rebecca Spring, and others.
