Correspondence of Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe, together with two boxes of pamphlets and four boxes of notebooks, scrapbooks of Howe's publications in newspapers and magazines, diaries, 1928-1951, and other printed material. The correspondence consists chiefly of incoming letters with carbon copies of some of Howe's replies. There are also 278 letters, 1878-1904, from Howe to his mother which document his student years at Lehigh and Harvard and his early years in Boston. In general the correspondence relates to Howe's editorial and biographical work and includes letters from writers for the Youth's Companion and from authors of volumes published in the series of Beacon Biographies of Eminent Americans, edited by Howe. In addition there are 17 letters, 1870-1891, from Bishop William Hobart Hare to Howe's father and a few scattered earlier letters and documents of James Buchanan, Josiah Quincy, and Daniel Webster.
