- Summary
- · To Neville Rogers, Shelley scholar : 5 autograph letters signed : 1948-1953 : (S'ANA 0912.37--41) : three of five written on printed South African "air letter" sheets ; discussing various literary subjects, including Keats and Shelley.
- · To Clinton N. Rutan of New Jersey : 2 autograph letters signed : 17-21 Oct 1940 : (S'ANA 0947h.1-2) : both with stamped envelopes ; on several matters of Shelley-related interest, primarily the suicide letter of Harriet Shelley. The later letter gives a British Museum call number for a Harriet Shelley letter, noting "their MSS are not available until after the war." Rutan was apparently preparing to produce "a life of Shelley in illustrations."

Wise, book collector and forger : 1 [autograph?] letter (copy) : 16 Mar 1909 : (S'ANA 0581) : upon discovering a pirated edition of Tennyson's "Lover's Tale" in his father's library which "does not tally with any of the six editions" Wise mentions in his Tennyson bibliography. Removed from the Pfozheimer Collection's copy of the bibliography.
