The papers include a commonplace book, 1760-1765, of John Craford, containing personal accounts, as well as tables and guidelines for the reckoning of weights, measures, time and English currency; a letter, 29 April 1795, from Martha Washington to Charles Whitlock, ordering a set of false teeth; and two watercolor illustrations, ca. 1846-1847, by William Makepeace Thackeray, for chapters ten and forty of the Book of snobs. A letter, 15 September 1893, from W.S. Gilbert to Sir George Henschel, expresses his satisfaction with the performance of Nancy McIntosh, a female vocalist, and his intent to suggest to his partner, Arthur Sullivan, that certain passages from the part of Princess Zara in Utopia limited be transposed into a lower register.
