One item (1893) is in reference to Brinton's honorary D.Sc. award. Two items relate to Prof. Robert Ellis Thompson's 1892 forced resignation. One item requests a leave of absence (1896), and the last item, addressed to Brinton's wife, is in response to the news of Brinton's death (1899). The items are primarily from University secretary Jesse Burk and Archeology Dept. secretary Sara Stevenson, but items are also from (or undersigned by) Edward Cheyney (professor and secretary to the board of trustees), Charles Harrison (provost), William Newbold (dean of the graduate school) and Easton (professor).
