Papers of Edward Coote Pinkney [manuscript], 1821-1826, 1923-1926.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647882056

The collection contains a manuscript draft of "Craven notice" posted in Baltimore against John Neal who had refused Pinkney's challenge of a duel to vindicate the memory of Pinkney's father whom Neal had slandered in his book "Randolph." The collection also contains manuscripts of the poem "The Lady's song" about the death of a loved one; a poem beginning "I know that perfect self-esteem...;" and a facsimile of a portion of "Rodolph." In correspondence (typed and photocopies) Pinkney acknowledges an error in conduct towards Captain Charles G. Ridgely, reports for military duty, sends poems for publication, requests to send written deposition rather than travel to a court-martial, and submits papers in a larceny case. Georgiana McCausland Pinkney's album contains poems by Pinkney, magazine photographs of Pinkney and his father, verses attributed to T.H. Chivers, and a clipping of an article by Lewis Chase on Chivers. There are also photocopies of a clemency appeal to the Governor of Maryland, Pinkney's obituary, a Pinkney crest, and an 1828 new year's greeting to subscribers of The Marylander. Modern correspondence discusses Thomas Ollive Mabbott's and Frank Pleadwell's biography of Pinkney and the possibility that a poem in Pinkney's album signed "C" is by T.H. Chivers.
