The collection also includes an early, handwritten draft of Cole's biography of the artist Edward Vischer complete with extensive notes. Two letters from Henry Cabot Lodge responding to Cole's request for seventeenth century books and one letter drafted by Cole to the University Library of Cambridge comprise the collection's correspondence records.
