- Description
- The collections consists of 53 letters, poems and other manuscripts written by various members of the Leigh family and other people in their circle. The letters are mainly concerned with the intimate, mundane, playful and tragic aspects of family life from the early modern period until the middle of the 19th century. There is also a small number of poems, written by or copied out by family members, a Hymn, a speech, and a travel account. The collection also contains the 19th century volume, titled in gild on spine "Original Family Papers &c. Vol. 1. MSS." Letters and other material purchased by the Huntington Library Collectors' Council have been removed from the volume by the Huntington Library Conservation Department. An unknown number of letters were removed from the volume prior to the Huntington Library purchase.
