Scope and Content Information

There are three letters, 1888-1900, from Ignatius Donnelly in Hastings, Minnesota. In a letter, February 6, 1888, to an unidentified correspondent, Donnelly recommends books on Shakespeare and Bacon by James Appleton Morgan and Constance Mary Fearon Pott. In letters, June 26, 1899 and October 23, 1900, to William Henry Burr, Washington, D.C., Donnelly discusses his book "The Cipher in the Plays and on the Tombstone "and Bacon's authorship of Shakespeare, Greene, and Marlowe plays, and mentions the Rosicrucian Society, and the Freemasons.
