Processing Information:

The typed copies of letters in this collection, with the exception of nos. 30 and 62, were made by Mrs. Theodora Ward from the 1931 edition of Letters of Emily Dickinson, edited by Mabel Loomis Todd. The originals of these published letters seem to have been destroyed. The original of no. 30 belongs to Josiah Gilbert Holland, 3d.; the original of no. 62 belongs to Alison Howe Yaeger.
In November, 1954, Mrs. Walter Bingham found among the Dickinson papers four additional MSS. belonging to the Holland family. These she returned to Mrs Ward, who presented them to Harvard. They were accessioned under no. *54M-116, and then added to the series as nos. 96-99.
