Turlington, Henry E., b. 1945,. The Henry E. Turlington Collection of Cyril Kay-Scott and Evelyn Scott Materials, 1881-1987, (bulk 1920-1957, 1983-1985).

Title: The Henry E. Turlington Collection of Cyril Kay-Scott and Evelyn Scott Materials, 1881-1987, (bulk 1920-1957, 1983-1985).

The collection consists of correspondence, manuscripts, printed matetial, photographs, postcards, financial documents, musical scores, maps, artwork, a legal document, and a diary relating to Cyril Kay-Scott and Evelyn Scott, dating 1881-1987, gathered over a period of time by Henry Turlington. The collection subsequently bulks in areas that reflect Turlington's interests, largely material relating to Kay-Scott's creative works, the Evelyn Scott Fund, and David Arthur Callard's biography of Evelyn Scott, Pretty Good for a Woman. The greatest bulk of the collection consists of Cyril Kay-Scott's creative works: manuscript versions of his autobiography, Life Is Too Short (1943), spiral bound typescripts of poetry (ca. 1881-1949), and several short prose pieces (undated and 1928-48). Cyril's correspondence provides some insight into his relationships with family members, predominantly letters to Manly Wade Wellman, a son from his first marriage. Visual materials (photographs, postcards, sketches and annotated maps) document his travels in Brazil, Africa, South America, and Bermuda (1913-1930), and includes a few family portraits. The Evelyn Scott series contains a small amount of correspondence from Scott herself, about half of which is to Lewis Gannett, Herman Rappaport, and Helen Woodward. The remaining correspondence is directed to Margaret DeSilver, treasurer of the Evelyn Scott Fund. Correspondents of note are Waldo Frank, Allen Tate, and John Metcalfe, although their letters concerning the Fund are routine. Other Fund material includes financial documents, notes, and solicitation flyers. However, most of the second series consists of research, manuscripts, and final galley proofs for Callard's Pretty Good for a Woman. Callard's research material includes Scott's FBI file which contains several photocopies of correspondence between Evelyn Scott and J. Edgar Hoover. Callard also collected Metcalfe's 1955 diary which contains reticent entries on his and Evelyn's lives during that year. The Scott Family series is a gathering of papers mostly relating to Cyril Kay-Scott, Evelyn Scott, and family matters. It includes Manly Wellman's clippings collection comprising articles by and about Cyril, with a few about Creighton. The few manuscripts in this series include photocopied notes and an undated manuscript (apparently unpublished) by Creighton, "Confessions of an American Boy."
