Included in this incredibly rich collection are draft portions of
Typee in manuscript, Herman's 1849
letter to Allan Melville about Malcolm, letters to Augusta from her (and Herman's) mother
Maria Gansevoort Melville, from sister
Helen Melville (Griggs), and from cousin
Ann Marie Priscilla Melvill--two of which, as Hershel Parker discovered, refer to
Isle of the Cross. More wonderful discoveries await, doubtless.
