- catalog abstract "When these papers were purchased in 1949, it was thought that they were only the papers of Elizabeth Conwell Smith Willson. However, upon more detailed examination during full cataloging in 2012, it has been discovered that the texts of some of the poems were published as the work of Forceythe Willson in his 1867 book The old sergeant and other poems. Consequently the repository has only assigned an author to an item, if it is signed by the maker, or if the title appeared in the 1867 volume. Further study by readers is suggested. The collection includes autograph manuscripts of Elizabeth Willson's poems and essays and manuscripts of Forceythe Willson's poems.
