Miscellaneous, 1841-1941

Consists of original records, mostly dating in the years from 1833 to 1870 (the period covering Fletcher's major historical concentration). A few records Fletcher apparently received and never deposited with the College Library, or they were created by him. A majority of the originals are letters received by Fletcher from private sources. He planned to use these sources not only to write the history of Oberlin from 1833-70 but in writing about later periods of Oberlin's history as well. In many instances Fletcher's correspondence, or letters of transmittal, will be found in the same folder. Records from private sources.
