There is an interesting reply to a letter from an unnamed person (55M9), a letter Mulligan wrote to John H. Morgan in 1898 (56M217), a letter to Morgan from Robert W. Woolley, written in 1909 (in 60M195), and the typescripts of two poems, "From Elkhorn down to Keene" (61M128), and "Battle hymn of the McKennas" (in 60M195).
