Collection-level Scope and Content Note The papers in this collection cover a wide and curious variety of places and events--not all clear in their relationship to Cardella.

In addition, there is a notebook of somewhat prosaic clippings, mostly from newspapers, from the early 20th c. with a few as late as the 1930s. Hennessy died in Washington in 1942.
