Numerous drafts of essays and at least one speech expounding his views on the influence of Montaigne's Essayes on Shakespeare. These views were prompted by annotations in a 1603 copy of the Essayes owned by him (now V.b.327) which he believed were written at least in part by Shakespeare. One of his essays tells how he acquired the volume and what he collected, as well as documenting a lively conversation on Shakespeare among certain well-known literary figures and Hollywood celebrities of the 1930s. Also, (1) 4 letters and a telegram to and from Furthman and Hardin Craig, 1938, a letter to J.G. McManaway, 1944, and 2 other letters, n.d., 1965. (2) Photographs of: pages from Books I and II of Furthman's annotated copy of the Essayes (V.b.327) with his own annotations, and pages from Book III; pages from a British Library copy of the Essayes (C.21e.17); Shakespeare signatures; a page (in Hand C) from "Sir Thomas More" (Harl. MS 7368); Furthman's ms copy of "The Prince" by N.
