Acquisition Information

The bulk of the William F. Allen family papers were presented by Mrs. Frederick B. White (formerly Mrs. Andrews Allen Sr.), St. Paul, Minnesota, July 7, 1970. Several documents, including William Francis Allen's South Carolina diary, were presented by Katherine Allen, 1932, and through Dr. John D. Hicks, December 1940. Allen's diary and letters from Helena, Arkansas, transferred to the Allen Family Papers in 1967, were deposited by Louise Phelps Kellogg in 1941, shortly before her death. Dr. Kellogg was a friend of Katherine Allen and it is likely that she obtained these from her. Accession Number: M70-189
