Letter from Thomas Hollis to the Curators of Harvard College, 1762 July 21

Thomas Hollis V (1720-1774), widely known as Thomas Hollis of Lincoln’s Inn, was a very generous donor to Harvard College, particularly its library. This letter, which appears to have accompanied a package, demonstrates that he also donated prints to the College. Hollis wrote: "N.B. the Ludlow, Sydney, Marvell, & Cleopatra are struck on paper made from white & colored silk rags, the produce of premiums of the Society, the noble Society for promoting arts & commerce."

I. Embroidered pocketbook, 1774

This series contains one rectangular, embroidered pocketbook with foldover flaps embroidered with wool thread in green, red, blue, purple, and cream colors. The interior is lined with pink silk and has cardboard inserts. "FISHER AMES 1774" is embroidered on one of the interior flaps of the wallet. This object was most likely made for Fisher Ames by a female member of his family or a friend, possibly to commemorate his graduation from Harvard in 1774. A child’s leather glove that was inserted in one of the pockets is also housed in HUM 96 Box 1.
