http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155509625

Photocopies of letters written by Cope to his family, 1846-1897; correspondence between Cope and Henry Fairfield Osborn about paleontological matters, 1884-1897; correspondence between Cope and his field collectors, R.S. Hill and Frank Hazard; and will of Cope. Photocopies of Cope's field diaries of his collecting trips to the American West provide detailed background information on the geology and precise position in which he uncovered fossils, as well as descriptions of fossils, and Greek names he assigned to them. He sketched geological formations, fossils he discovered, and his conceptions of the way the animal might have appeared in life, 1872-1885. One journal covers his trip to Paris, 1892. Also, diaries of his field assistants, R.S. Hill and Frank Hazard, 1877-1881.
