Collection History

Acquisition:

The manuscripts were originally in the possession of Mrs. Frevert, a sister of Phillips. In her will she left the collection to Robert W. Chambers, who donated the material to Princeton in 1930.

The collection was formed as a result of a Departmental practice of combining into one collection material of various accessions relating to a particular person, family, or subject.
