Provenance:
Between 1898 and 1905, Charles Brinsley Marlay (1829-1912) was closely acquainted with Richard Warwick Bond. As a result of this relationship, Marlay bequeathed his collection of family manuscripts to Bond. Following Bond’s death in 1943, the Marlay papers came to the University Library as part of his own bequest. Thie first section of the papers (My 1-1069) retains something of the original arrangement by Lady Charleville into separate bundles concerning different correspondents. The remainder of the papers appear to have been sorted by R. Warwick Bond.
