Scope and content:

Reports that John Quincy Adams has discovered a box of mss. and printed matter relating to Poe and his associates. According to Doris V. Falk, the John Quincy Adams mentioned was the nephew of Thomas Holley Chivers and he did have custody of this box of papers. He published articles about them in the Atlanta Constitution in March of 1888 (from which this 1912 paragraph was copied almost verbatim), and again in 1897. The papers remained in the Adams family until some were bought by the Huntington Library and others by the Duke University Library. Mentions: Professor George Bush, Professor Gierlow, Thomas Holley Chivers, Maria Clemm, Jane Ermina Locke, Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton, William Gilmore Simms, Sarah Helen Whitman, N. P. Willis.
