Manuscripts
This small group of material is made up of autographs (of both identified and unidentified people), fragments, and miscellaneous letters. The identified autographs include: Albert, Prince Consort to Queen Victoria; Queen Caroline of Great Britain; Anna Esipova; and several 19th century American politicians such as Galusha Grow, Joseph W. Keifer, Michael C. Kerr, William Pennington, and Samuel J. Randall. The collection also contains miscellaneous material that was removed from books here at The Huntington. There are also several letters with unidentified authors. The collection also includes a manuscript by Eliphalet Spencer of Suffield, Connecticut, dated 1771, which seems to be Spencer practicing his signature and handwriting.
