http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/612365471

Although this collection contains some correspondence of Henry Parkman and letters to his wife Frances, the bulk of it consists of papers of Edward Twisleton and letters to Sarah Wyman Whitman. Many of the letters to Twisleton, including 51 letters from the handwriting expert Charles Chabot, concern his involvement in the controversy surrounding the identity of the author of the "Junius" letters. There are also 26 letters between Twisleton and Walter Savage Landor. Letters to Sarah Whitman are often of a social nature but some concern her art work. There are 30 letters to Whitman from Phillips Brooks. Additionally, there is a series of 19 letters from Henry Parkman to his mother and a group of letters to Frances Parkman from Sarah Orne Jewett.
