Pen and ink drawing of George Horatio Derby
Manuscripts
This manuscript is a hand-drawn caricature of American humorist and soldier George Horatio Derby, drawn by an unknown artist. The profile image of Derby is wearing what appears to be military dress, and has something of a sly expression on his face. A handwritten caption reads "Derby the married man," and "1854" is written just beneath the drawing.

One original ink drawing of Frederick Graves by Lute Pease. The cartoon reads, "Publicity is a faithful helpmate who will do her share for success if you will do yours." The quote was possibly from a speech given to a group of Portland businessmen. There is some water damage around the edges.

Pen and ink drawing of a man in academic gown holding the hand of a woman, signed "Jo. P."
Manuscripts
This collection consists of an autograph album containing handwritten notes, letters, poems, and drawings by approximately 200 friends and acquaintances of American author Charles Warren Stoddard, including leading American literary figures, journalists, poets, critics, politicians, and actors of the late 19th century. Among the many notable contributors are Samuel Clemens, Bret Harte, and Joaquin Miller. The earliest item in the book is an 1863 dedication by Thomas Starr King, and continues with contributions primarily from members of San Francisco literary society beginning in the mid-to-late 1860s through the late 1890s, as well as from friends in other locales where Stoddard lived or traveled including Louisville, Kentucky; Washington, D.C.; Massachusetts; New York; and Hawaii. A letter from L.C. Bayles (page 23) introduces lines of verse with the note "in accordance with your request," reflecting Stoddard's curation of the album as a compendium of verse and personal sentiments tailored towards friendships and literary musings. The volume includes two photographs of groups of men and women, captioned, "Riverdale, N.Y., July 4th 1890" (page 116). There are manuscript poems and lines of verse, often penned specifically for Stoddard, from literary friends including Isaac Hull Adams; Daniel Dulany Addison; Benjamin Parke Avery; William Barry; Fred Buel; James F. Bowman; George Burrows; Carrie Carlton; Bliss Carman; Pierre Cauwet; Robert W. Chambers; Sarah M. Clarke; Ada Clare; Katherine E. Conway; Ina D. Coolbrith; R.M.
