Consists of 6 folders. There are two folders of letters to Horace Howard Furness. In the first are ten letters dated 1890-1910 (some n.d.). The second folder contains one letter dated 1907 that was added to the collection later. There are two folders of letters to Horace Howard Furness, Jr. The first folder contains five letters dated [1892?]-1928 (some n.d.). The second folder contains one letter dated 1892 that was added to the collection later. The first of the letters to Horace Howard Furness, Jr. is actually undated, but in it Agnes Repplier thanks him for a copy of the new Variorum edition of The Tempest (1892). This suggests that the letter may actually have been written to his father, Horace Howard Furness, the author of that edition. However, the salutation is "Dear Mr. Furness," which is Agnes Repplier's way of referring to Horace Howard Furness, Jr.; the father is generally "Dr. Furness." There is also one undated letter to William Henry Furness III. There is also a copy of Agnes Repplier's tribute to Horace Howard Furness, entitled "Horace Howard Furness," published after his death in 1912.
