Acquisition Information

Presented by Charles E. Colman of La Crosse, a son of Charles L. Colman, through Albert H. Sanford, February, 1934.

Note

The Colman Papers were examined in the Manuscript Division in April, 1934 and a considerable number of letters, considered to be of purely personal nature and of little or no historical value, were returned to Mr. Sanford. The material that was returned consisted of a number of Julia Colman's early essays, a quantity of advertising matter received by Henry R. Colman, and a great number of letters from his children and grandchildren, dated 1870-1893.
