http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136594

The collection contains a poem by Charles Henry Wharton sent as a valentine to Wallace; a partial manuscript; and correspondence. The correspondence includes many letters written by Wallace as a child to family members conveying news of town, church and family members. Other letters concern his education and the bar exam, his opinion on letter writing, a summary of his trip to Rhode Island including a beach vacation and a negative impression of William Ellery Channing and Unitarianism, the publication of Architecture under his pen name, a suggestion that Robert Hare be appointed president of the American Philosophical Society, praise for the writing of William G. Goddard, and a brief mention of Robert Southey. Two receipts for tuition complete the collection.
