http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77063751

Includes correspondence, account books, reprints of articles by and about Charles William Eliot (CWE), and photographs. Some of this material was used by Henry James (1879-1947) in compiling his biography of CWE. Most of the correspondence was written by Samuel A. Eliot (Harvard A.B. 1884) and deals with estate and other matters after CWE's death. The photographs portray CWE, CWE's wives, Ellen and Grace, Samuel A. Eliot (Harvard A.B. 1884), and Samuel A. Eliot (Harvard A.B. 1817); this last image is a photograph of a painting.
