Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection 4 consists of letters and documents by and about notable individuals in history, literature, religion, government, and other fields. The items in these collections are gifts and purchases.
Correspondence with Wagner's office concerning government departments or agencies. Arranged chronologically and alphabetically; partially processed.
The collection contains eight autograph letters written by Georgetown College alumni to fellow alumus, Joseph P. Orme, between the years 1856 and 1860. The content of the letters range from catching up on news of friends and family to serious political debate. The opinions written by these young men display the divided state of the nation on the brink of civil war. Of the seven friends, at least three went on to fight in the war, two for the Union and one for the Confederacy.
This collection contains a typescript of Fr. John F. Hurley's experiences during the occupation of the Philippines (1941-1945) in which he was held at Santo Tomas Internment Camp. The account was written at the request of Fr. William C. Repetti, then Georgetown University Archivist, in 1964.
Correspondence between Hilaire Belloc and Emma Pescatore.
The papers of Charles J. Hennessy, SJ contain two diaries kept intermittently throughout his Jesuit formation at Frederick, Woodstock, and Georgetown College between 1896 and 1907.
Secondary works relating to Baron Corvo, including correspondence from collectors such as Donald Weeks, manuscripts of papers about Corvo by various authors (some photocopied), printed ephemera, and photographs.
