Papers, c. 1819-1892.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259316

The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence to Earle from his colleagues, dealing with issues pertinent to their interests in the field of mental illness. There are letters about patients, case notes, and drafts for reports. There are also letters from psychiatrists in Europe and a few items of personal correspondence from members of his family. One of his innovations in the treatment of patients was to offer lectures to them on various literary and cultural topics. Included in this collection are a number of those lectures as well as copies of some of his articles. There are twenty-eight diaries, 1835-1892, in which Earle wrote brief daily entries, accounts, addresses, and genealogical notes. There are also several volumes of medical and travel notebooks and one octavo volume of copies of letters to his family written from Europe, Cuba, and Washington, D.C., 1837-1864. Earle worked on the genealogy of his family for over fifty years and there are several folders of notes and correspondence gathered in preparation for his book. There is also some biographical material on Earle by Franklin Benjamin Sanborn (1831-1917) who wrote the "official" biography of him. At the beginning of the collection there are two manuscripts pertaining to Earle's father and his development of carding machines for the textile industry. One of the items is a letter, April 1804, from Eleazar Smith ( - ) of Walpole, Mass., describing improvements for what appears to be a carding machine.
