Compiled by a sister of C. W. King, see part letter from King on f. 14r, 'I enclose the autograph of a distinguished Grecian for your book. With love I am, my dear Sister, yours affect[ionate]ly C. W. King'. Although no first name appears, C. W. King's only sister appears to have been Anne, sometimes known as Annette (1824-1874). A letter from W. G. Clark to C. W. King, preserved on the verso of the flyleaf, was sent with 'some autographs for your friend', and there are also envelopes and letters addressed to William Aldis Wright and other members of Trinity suggesting King was actively gathering material for his sister. The bulk of the collection appears to have been assembled between the late 1860s and early 1870s.

Chiefly on antiquarian subjects, collecting, etc. 1870s-1880s.

Trinity College, Cambridge. - Has just been over King's rooms with the Medical Inspector: items such as antimacassars, curtains and bedlinen have been baked and washed; King's college cap has been burnt and his gown will be 'subjected to some process of purification'; the sofa covering and green baize from the door will also have to be 'shipped off'. The inspector is keen that King should not return to Trinity until a full month after his doctor allowed him to go out, and should not bring back the clothes in which he left. Does not know King's current address and asks Nelthropp to communicate with him; the college must 'take every precaution against contagion'.

On headed notepaper for the Evening Star and South Wales Times, proprietor W. N. Johns. - Expressing sympathy on the death of C. W. King, whom he knew for many years and was very helpful in the preparation of a history on Newport, his native town. Wonders if anything from among King's possessions might be presented to the town for the Free LIbrary or Museum, to preserve the memory of 'one of Newport's most worthy sons'.

Addressed by Johns c/o Trinity College , Cambridge, forwarded on to Rev. H. L. Nelthropp at Upper Norwood.
