All are addressed to Platt except (1), which is to Doctor Appleton Morgan, Westfield, New Jersey and discusses Mr. Yeatman's article on the holographic nature of Shakespeare's will. In the letters and postcards to Platt, Hunt writes at length on many topics, mainly his theories on Shakespeare's sonnets and the life and writings of Sir Francis Bacon. He also discusses the allegorical meaning of the plays and the "I see a cherub" line and "pirate incident" in Hamlet. (25) includes transfer sketches "from the work on Hieroglyphics." (43-45) are manuscript letters on yellow lined paper (possibly copies or drafts?).
