Biographies
1. Gertrude Stein.
Gertrude Stein was born in Alleghany, Pennsylvania, on 3 February 1874, the
youngest of five children of Daniel Stein, a wealthy businessman, and his wife
Amelia Keyser. The family spent the year 1877/1878 in Vienna and Paris, and upon
returning settled in Oakland, California. Her mother died in 1888, and her
father in 1891, at which time the eldest son, Michael, took over the family
business affairs, and Gertrude and her sister went to live with the family of
David Bacharach (who had married their maternal aunt) in Baltimore. Stein
attended Radcliffe College from 1893 to 1897, where she was mentored by William
James, under whose guidance she and another student, Leon Mendez Solomons,
studied and published a paper on normal motor automatism. At James's urging,
Stein entered Johns Hopkins Medical School, although she professed no interest
in medical theory or practice. Confronting a male-dominated culture and
realizing she could not conform to the role expected of females, she failed
several classes and left after two years, without taking a degree. In 1902, she
followed her brother, Leo, to Europe; they settled in Paris the following year.
Between 1904 and 1914, at their shared household at 27 rue de Fleurus, the
Steins assembled a collection of modern art--in particular, Renoir, Cézanne,
Matisse, and Picasso--that for its size and quality was considered the most
important of its time. Gertrude also hosted a salon attended by many of the most
important artistic and literary figures of the day. Leo and Gertrude dissolved
their household, splitting their collection, in 1914, under acrimonious
circumstances. Gertrude retained the Picassos, most of the Matisse, and all but
one of the Cézanne; the bulk of this collection was dispersed over the years,
and at Stein's death consisted primarily of works by Picasso, Juan Gris, and Sir
Francis Rose.
Stein first began writing in 1903, beginning
Q.E.D. (Quod Erat Demonstrandum), an account of her ill-starred
relationship with Mabel Haynes, Grace Lounsbury, and May Bookstaver (not
published until 1950), and a first version of the novel
The Making of Americans (finished in 1911, published in 1925), a
fictionalized account of her own family. Stein met Alice B. Toklas, her life
partner, in 1907; they took up residence together in 1910. Her first published
book,
Three Lives, appeared in 1909, as did her
short essays on Picasso and Matisse, the first English-language texts to be
published on these artists.
Tender Buttons was
published in 1914. Stein and Toklas were absent from Paris during much of World
War I. Stein acquired a car in 1917, and she and Toklas used it as a truck to
carry supplied for the American Fund for French Wounded, supplying hospitals in
Perpignan and Nîmes. They returned to Paris in 1919, where many of the French
members of Stein's salon dispersed, to be replaced by young American
expatriates. In 1922, Stein first met Ernest Hemingway, and the phrase most
associated with her, "rose is a rose is a rose", first appeared in print, in
Geography and Plays. In 1926, Stein's lecture
on her own writing style, "Composition as Explanation", was published by Leonard
and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press. In 1927, Stein first met the composer Virgil
Thomson, and began work on the libretto for their opera,
Four Saints in Three Acts; Toklas also cut Stein's hair in the
short, masculine style that was her signature look the rest of her life. In
1928, Stein wrote
How to Write, reflections on
language, grammar, sentences, and grammar. The following year, Stein and Toklas
rented the house in Bilignin (Ain) that became their summer residence. In 1932
Stein wrote
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas,
her first accessible book; it was published the following year and became a
bestseller, making Stein an international star.
Four
Saints in Three Acts
premiered in 1934, directed by John Houseman,
with choreography by Frederick Ashton. From October 1934 to May 1935, Stein
toured the United States to popular acclaim, although confounding some critics.
In 1936, Stein lectured at Oxford and Cambridge, and met with Lord Gerald
Berners, who set her "They Must Be Wedded to Their Wife" as a ballet,
The Wedding Banquet. The ballet was first performed
the following year, and became part of the standard repertory of Sadler's Wells
Ballet (later the Royal Ballet) for the next 20 years. Also In 1937, the lease
on 27 rue de Fleurus ran out. In 1938, Stein and Toklas moved to 5, rue
Christine, and Stein wrote the play
Dr. Faustus Lights
the Light
s, and her only children's book,
The
World Is Round
.
Stein and Toklas waited out the war in France, first in Billignin, and after the
lease was cancelled in 1943, at Le Colombier, a house in the nearby town of
Culoz. Although both Stein and Toklas were Jewish, they were protected by the
historian Bernard Faÿ and, most probably, by Stein's status as a famous
American. Stein continued to write during the war years, including
Paris, France (1939, published in London in 1940),
in homage to Paris, the novel
Mrs. Reynolds, and
The Winner Loses: A Picture of Occupied
France
. Stein's concern for France led her to sympathize with
Marshal Petain, and she attempted an English translation of Petain's
Paroles aux français. The American press reported
the "liberation" of Stein and Toklas in September 1944, and she became immensely
popular with GIs. Shortly afterwards, Stein wrote a play about life in an
occupied country,
In Savoy: A Play of the Resistance in
France
, that premiered as
Yes Is For a Very
Young Man
in Pasadena, California, in 1946. In December 1944, Stein
and Toklas returned to Paris. Stein's autobiographical
Wars I Have Seen, begun in 1941/42, was published in 1945, becoming
one of her most successful works. That same year, Stein visited American
military bases in Germany, wrote
Brewsie and
Willie
, a portrait of GIs in Europe, and began work on the libretto
for her second opera with Virgil Thomson,
The Mother of
Us All
, about the suffragist Susan B. Anthony; she finished the
libretto the following year. She died in Neuilly, near Paris, on 27 July 1946,
age seventy-two, following surgery for colon cancer; she was bured in Père
Lachaise cemetery, Paris, on 22 October. Alice B. Toklas survived Stein by
twenty years, dying on 7 March 1967; she is buried at Stein's side.
2. Addison M. Metcalf.
Addison McCrea Metcalf was born on 29 April 1914, in New York City, the younger
child and only son of Williard L. Metcalf (1858-1925), artist and a founding
member of the “Ten American Painters”, and his second wife, Henriette Alice
McCrea (1888-1981). His parents separated a few years after his birth. He was
raised partly in California, where he attended Webb School of Claremont. He was
living in Long Beach, California, in 1935, and later studied in Europe,
returning to the United States in August 1939. He attended the University of
California at Berkeley for approximately two years, before enlisting in the U.S.
army on 16 December 1941 at Hartford, Connecticut. After serving for four and
one half years (apparently, with a slight physical deformity, as a baker,
although he stated publicly that he was in military intelligence), he settled
near his mother in Newtown, Connecticut, where he opened an antique shop, "At
the Sign of the Fleur de Lys". In the early 1960s, he moved to New York City,
where he worked as a librarian, first at the American Foundation of Religion and
Psychiatry, and latterly at the Law Library at Fordham University. He died in
New York City on 16 June 1983.
Metcalf became interested in Gertrude Stein and her works while still a student
in California. Encouraged by Ella McKenna Friend Mielziner, the widow of the
painter Leo Mielziner and a friend of Stein from the latter's early, formative
years in Paris, he began seriously collecting works by, and materials relating
to, Stein after he settled in Connecticut in 1945, and by the mid-1950s had
built a collection that according to Stein's literary co-executor, Carl Van
Vechten, was second only to Stein's official archive at Yale University. In
1955, Metcalf sponsored the publication of
Absolutely Bob
Brown; or, Bobbed Brown, a previously unpublished portrait by Gertrude
Stein
. In 1964, he wrote and performed "A Sentimental Journey
Through the Works of Gertrude Stein", a one-man show of extracts from Stein's
works. He also recorded selections from Stein's works that were issued by
Folkways Records as "Mother Goose of Montparnasse" in 1965. Metcalf donated the
bulk of his Gertrude Stein collection to Denison Library, Scripps College, in
June 1959, adding further donations in following years, with a final bequest at
his death. In his will he also bequeathed to the American Academy of Arts and
Letters funds to create two biennial awards of $10,000 to honor young writers
and artists of great promise, the Willard L. Metcalf Award in Art and the
Addison M. Metcalf Award in Literature.
Scope and Contents of Collection
The Addison M. Metcalf Collection of Gertrude Steiniana consists of manuscripts,
typescripts, correspondence, photographs, programs, brochures, catalogs,
posters, flyers, scripts, musical scores, printed materials, artwork, sound
recordings, ephemera, memorabilia, and other materials collected by Metcalf,
primarily between 1945 and 1959, to document the life and work of Gertrude
Stein, her reception by contemporaries, and the influence of her legacy in the
first three decades after her death. Together with over 450 published volumes,
held elsewhere in Denison Library, these materials constitute what Carl Van
Vechten, Stein's literary executor, considered in the 1960s to be the greatest
contemporary collection of Steiniana outside her official archive at Yale.
The collection is divided into eleven series.
Series 1: Manuscripts and typescripts, contains manuscript and typescript letters
from and to Stein; typescripts of several of her works, some corrected in her
hand or that of Alice B. Toklas; typescripts and galley proofs of published
biographies, critical studies, and memoirs; and typescripts of unpublished
dissertations and fictional representations of Gertrude Stein.
Series 2: Performance files, contains programs, posters, photographs, scripts,
correspondence, reviews, costume and set designs, and other materials relating
to the performance of Gertrude Stein’s works. The wide scope and range of the
materials, encompassing professional, college, and local productions, is the
result of Metcalf's goal to document every performance of Stein’s works within
the United States, and whenever possible, elsewhere, prior to 1960. The
materials from the premiere performances of
Four Saints
in Three Acts
, and the materials relating to the Living Theatre's
performances of
Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights
and
Ladies' Voices are of particular
interest.
Series 3: Scores and sheet music, contains music scores, primarily by Virgil
Thomson and Martin Vernon, set to texts by Gertrude Stein. Many of the scores
are in manuscript (photostat) and inscribed by the composer.
Series 4: Exhibitions contains catalogs, brochures, programs, posters, and other
materials relating to exhibitions of Gertrude Stein's manuscripts and published
works, and to museum and gallery exhibitions of artwork formerly owned by
Gertrude Stein and her siblings, and of artists collected, supported, and
championed by Gertrude, in particular Picasso, Matisse, Francis Rose, and Juan
Gris.
Series 5: Photographs, contains contemporary and later copy prints of photographs
of Gertrude Stein from 1905 onwards. Many of the images were taken by Carl Van
Vechten, and most of these are signed by him. A large number date from the
period 1934-1937, and include photographs of Stein at Bilignin and during her
United States tour.
Series 6: Printed materials, contains complete original copies of almost all
periodical issues in which Gertrude Stein's work appeared during her lifetime.
Additional periodical issues, published during and after Stein's lifetime,
contain reviews and discussions of Stein's works, American literature, modern
art, and American expatriots in France between the World Wars; many of the
articles are signed by the authors. The series also includes clippings of
newspaper articles from a scrapbook compiled by Metcalf in the 1950s, relating
to Stein, her works, her interest in art, her contemporary reception, and her
legacy..
Series 7: Correspondence, contains Metcalf's correspondence relating to Gertrude
Stein and the formation of his collection of Steiniana. The correspondence (the
bulk being letters received) consists of routine correspondence from
booksellers, galleries, producers, photographers, and newspapers; correspondence
from other Stein admirers and collectors; correspondence from scholars, sharing
their knowledge and expertise; and, of particular importance, correspondence
from people who had known Stein, relating their memories and "impressions” of
Stein. The correspondence also sheds light on Metcalf's own personality, his
monomania for Gertrude Stein, and his romantic obsessions.
Series 8: Artwork, consists of artwork, both original and reproduction, relating
to Gertrude Stein, collected by Addison Metcalf between approximately 1950 and
1970. Of the original pieces, the charcoal portrait by Peggy Bacon (1935), the
watercolors by Stephen Longstreet (1928-1938), and the collage by Pavel
Fyodorovitch Tchelitchew (1929), date from Stein's lifetime. The series includes
a number of works dating from the years 1963-1966, by Edward Meneeley, Albert
Vanderburg, Howard Hussey, and David Prentice, of which some, and possibly all,
were commissioned by Metcalf.
Series 9: Sound recordings and film, consists primarily of sound recordings of
works by and relating to Gertrude Stein, performed by herself and others. Of
special interest are the recordings of Stein reading from her own works during
her 1934-1935 United States tour; performances of several of her works; and a
telecast of Pat Bond's one-woman show,
Gerty, Gerty,
Gerty, Is Back, Back, Back
(circa 1979).
Series 10: Ephemera and memorabilia, contains ephemera and memorabilia relating
to Gertrud Stein. The most important items are two plates designed in 1930 by
Gertrude Stein for Carl Van Vechten, and executed by a pottery in the
neighborhood of Bilignin, and two catalogs of Stein's works from 1930-1931.
Series 11: Personal and family papers, contains personal and family papers of
Addison Metcalf. The most noteworthy materials are found in the James Ringo
correspondence file, donated to the collection in the 1980s by Ringo, which
contains letters of a personal nature from Metcalf to Ringo, and letters to and
from Metcalf's relatives discussing the circumstances of his death. The series
also includes a number of items relating to Metcalf's father, the painter
Willard L. Metcalf.

Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains manuscript and typescript correspondence and
notes written or signed by Gertrude Stein, typescripts of her works, and
a small number of documents relating to her life. The primary recipients
or subjects of the correspondence are Xavier Gonzalez, Henry McBride,
Sir Francis Rose, Julian Sawyer, and Allan Turner. The materials include

tour of the United States in 1934-1935, including an interview with
William Lundell of the National Broadcasting Corporation, and tickets to
two of Stein's lectures. Other materials include the 25 September 1944
International News press release announcing Stein's "liberation", and

Physical Description:
5 folders.
Scope and Contents note
This sub-subseries consists of short letters, notes, and other
documents written or signed by Gertrude Stein. The primary

Arrangement note
Arranged in 2 subseries:

Scope and Contents note
This series contains programs, posters, flyers, handbills, photographs,
performance schedules, scripts, correspondence, reviews, costume and set
designs, tickets, financial accounts, and other materials relating to the
performance of Gertrude Stein’s works and to musical, dance, and theatrical
performances based on, or inspired by, Stein's works. Addison Metcalf sought
to acquire documentation on every performance of Stein’s works within the
United States, and whenever possible, elsewhere, prior to 1960, and the
series is rich in materials from professional, college, and local
productions. The most significant materials relate to performances of the
operas
Four Saints in Three Acts and
The Mother of Us All, both written with Virgil
Thomson; of the plays
Doctor Faustus Lights the
Lights
,
Ladies' Voices, and
Yes Is For a Very Young Man; and of the

folders).
Arrangement note
Includes 1 sub-subseries:
- Sub-subseries 2.1.1: Selections from Gertrude Stein's works
and lectures and workshops on her works
Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains programs, posters, flyers, handbills,
photographs, performance schedules, scripts, correspondence, reviews,
costume and set designs, tickets, financial accounts, and other
materials relating to the performance of Gertrude Stein’s works. The
breadth of materials, from professional, college, and local productions,
reflects Addison Metcalf's attempt to acquire documentation on every
performance of Stein’s works within the United States and elsewhere
prior to 1960. The most significant materials relate to performances of
the operas
Four Saints in Three Acts and
The Mother of Us All, both written
with Virgil Thomson; of the plays
Doctor Faustus
Lights the Lights
,
Ladies'
Voices
, and
Yes Is For a Very Young
Man
; and of the ballet,
Wedding
Bouquet
, written with Lord Berners.
The materials relating to
Four Saints in Three
Acts
include souvenir programs and programs of the world
premiere in Hartford, Connecticut, in February 1934, as well as
programs, flyers, photographs, and reviews of the first performances in
New York City, at the Forty-Fourth Street and Empire Theatres, in March
and April of that year, as well as of the first performance in Chicago,
in November. Additional materials also include programs, flyers, and
reviews of the 1952 American National Theatre and Academy performance at
the Broadway Theatre in New York and at the Théatre des Champs Élysées
in Paris, of a Japanese production in 1953; of de Paur’s Opera Gala 1957
tour; and of several college and local productions of the entire work
and selections from it.
The materials relating to performances of
The
Mother of Us All
include programs, articles, reviews, and
photographs by Carl Van Vechten of the original 1947 production by
Columbia Theatre Associates, as well as a 1949 production at Western
Reserve University, a 1952 performance by the Babylon (New York)
Symphony Orchestra, a 1953 performance by the University of California
Berkeley Studio Theater, and 1956 performances by the Adams House
(Harvard University) Music Society and at the Phoenix Theatre in New
York.
The most significant performance records for
Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights are those of Julian Beck
and Judith Malina’s Living Theatre’s 1951 production. These include a
typed script, Beck’s original costume designs, set designs, programs,
flyers, reviews, financial accounts, tickets, and draft correspondence
relating to Beck and Malina’s inability to pay royalties to the Stein
estate and their struggle to subsist.
The series includes similar documents, including handcrafted programs and
posters from the Living Theatre’s 1951 production, in Beck and Malina’s
apartment, of
Ladies’ Voices, and from
their production the following year in the Cherry Lane Theatre. The
After Dinner Opera Company frequently performed
Ladies’ Voices in the decade from 1956 to 1965, often in
conjunction with Stein’s
In a Garden, and
the series contains programs and posters from many of these
productions.
Records for
Yes Is For a Very Young Man
include a review of the original 1946 production at the Pasadena
(California) Playhouse; programs, reviews, and posters of the 1948
productions by the Princeton Theatre Intime and the Princeton University
Players; and photographs by Martha Swope, Carl Van Vechten, and John
Vickers.
Sadler’s Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet) premiered
Wedding Bouquet in its 1936-37 season, and
the work was part of the company’s standard repertory into the 1960s.
The series includes souvenir and performance programs for many of these
productions, including the Ballet’s first American appearance in 1949,
and its 1950-51 United States tour, and photographs, circa 1948-1950, by
Felix Fonteyn.
Additional materials include programs, performance schedules, posters,
and publicity relating to the After Dinner Opera Company’s 1956 European
tour, and subsequent United States appearances performing
In a Garden; signed programs and other
documents relating to the Touring Players Company 1952-1953 production
of
Brewsie and Willie, and programs,
correspondence, performance schedule, and a photograph relating to the
Randall School (Hartford, Connecticut) 1957-1950 productions of
What Happened.
Sub-subseries 2.1.1 comprises records of performances of selections from
Stein’s works, in particular Bruce Kellner’s illustrated lecture, "When

Gertrude Stein" (1964).

Arrangement note
The materials are arranged alphabetically by composer.
Scope and Contents note
This series contains print and manuscript (primarily photostat) scores of
music set to texts by Gertrude Stein. The principal composers represented
are Virgil Thomson and Martin Vernon. Only Thomson's
Four Saints in Three Acts was written in collaboration with
Stein; indeed, with few exceptions, all the other music in the series was
composed after Stein's death. The scores by Johnny Fig, Harold Rome ("A Rose
is a Rose", from
Bless You All), and Charles
Strouse and Lee Adams ("Rosie", from
Bye Bye
Birdie
) were acquired by Metcalf because of their references to
roses. Most of the materials are inscribed by the composers to Addison
Metcalf. Performance scores for individual works can be found in Series
2.

Physical Description:

Scope and Contents note
This subseries consists of materials that, with a few exceptions, were
contained in a scrapbook compiled by Addison Metcalf in the 1950s. The
materials are primarily newspaper clippings and journal articles, with a
few original materials, some signed by the authors. They include works,
and reviews of works, by Gertrude Stein and others in her circle;
accounts of the American and French literary and art scenes in the first
half of the 20th century; accounts of American expatriots in Paris
between the World Wars. The scrapbook was disassembled in 2013, and the
contents photocopied on acid-free bond paper; the originals were
destroyed. The materials are arranged alphabetically by
author/subject/publication; Stein's works are arranged alphabetically by
title. Announcements and reviews of performances of Gertrude Stein's
works and of exhibitions of works by artists connected with Stein have
been filed with the appropriate performance or exhibition in Series
2..

Addison Metcalf correspondence,
1951-1974 (bulk,
1951-1959).
Physical Description:
5 linear feet
Scope and Contents note
This series contains Addison Metcalf’s correspondence relating to Gertrude
Stein and his collection of Steiniana. The bulk of the collection consists
of letters received; however, the Bruce Kellner correspondence file includes
Metcalf’s letters to Kellner (most typed on rose-colored paper, an
affectation borrowed from Allison Delarue), donated to the collection by
Kellner in 1986 and 1987. The correspondence may be broadly divided into the
following types: (1) routine correspondence from booksellers, galleries,
producers, photographers, newspapers; (2) correspondence from other Stein
admirers and collectors, much of it of a “pen pal” type; (3) correspondence
from scholars, sharing their knowledge and expertise; and (4) correspondence
from people who had known Stein, writing in response to Metcalf’s request
for an “impression”. The primary correspondents are Carl Van Vechten
(“Carlo”), Stein’s literary executor; Bob Brown and Robert B. Haas, from
whom Metcalf obtained most of the original Gertrude Stein materials listed
in Subseries 1.1; the novelist John Breon; Allison Delarue, of the McCarter
Theatre at Princeton; Bruce Kellner; Ella MacKenna Friend Mielziner, widow
of the painter Leo Mielziner; Russell W. Nash; Elizabeth Sprigge; the dancer
Robert Tynes; Tennessee Wild, of The Dance Mart; Isabel and Thornton Wilder;
and Yale University Library, represented primarily by Donald Gallup. Other
letters of particular interest include correspondence with the After Dinner
Opera Company, Peggy Bacon, Christopher Blake, Paul F. Bowles, Robert E.
Finley, George J. Firmage, the Living Theatre, Stephen Longstreet, Robert
McAlmon, Henry McBride, Murray D. Morrison, Norman Holmes Pearson, Richard
Rummonds, Samuel M. Steward, Virgil Thomson, Alice B. Toklas, and Robert A.
Wilson. The correspondence with Breon, Delarue, Kellner, and, in particular,
Rummonds and Tynes (for both of whom Metcalf developed a romantic
infatuation), includes many letters of a very personal nature. The Kellner
correspondence file includes two letters from Kellner to Scripps College
Librarian Judy Harvey-Sahak, 1986-1987, describing Metcalf’s personality,
obsession with Gertrude Stein, and tortured personal relationships. Metcalf
was also the center (“le premiere rose”) of a small group of Stein
enthusiasts, including Robert A. Wilson (“le deuxieme rose”), David White
(“the fourth rose”), and Marcus Goodrich (“Marcus Aurelius”). The series
also documents Metcalf’s unsuccessful efforts to have a rose named after
Gertrude Stein, and his participation in the successful movement to have the
rose declared the state flower of New York.

Series 8:
Art works,
1926-circa 1970.
Scope and Contents note
This series consists of artwork relating to Gertrude Stein, collected by
Addison Metcalf between approximately 1950 and 1970. Of these works, the
charcoal portrait by Peggy Bacon (1935), the watercolors by Stephen
Longstreet (1928-1938), the collage by Pavel Fyodorovitch Tchelitchew
(1929), and the portrait by Kristians Tonny (1930, reproduction), date from
Stein's lifetime. Stein had been perhaps Sir Francis Rose's (border
illustration for
The World Is Round, circa
1948) staunchest supporter. The series includes several works by Edward
Meneeley (1927-2015) and Albert Vanderburg (born 1940), Meneeley's partner,
all dating from the period 1963-1965. They and Howard Hussey had been
contemporaries at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and
Sculpture. David Prentice's acrylic "Alice B." was commissioned by Metcalf
in 1966; some or all of the other artwork from the early 1960s may also have
been similarly commissioned. Jane Chambers has not been conclusively
identified, but may be the playwright of that name (1937-1983), who
pioneered writing theatrical works with openly lesbian characters. Harrie
Wood (1902-1978), a painter and illustrator, was a family friend of the
Metcalf family who also eventually settled in Newtown, Connecticut. T. E.
Wood, who has not been identified, may be related to Harrie, possibly of an
earlier generation.

Scope and Contents note
This series contains ephemera and memorabilia relating to Gertrud Stein. The
most important items are two plates designed in 1930 by Gertrude Stein for
Carl Van Vechten, and executed by a pottery in the neighborhood of Bilignin,
and two catalogs of Stein's works from 1930-1931, one from Éditions de la
Montagne, the other from Plain Edition, the press Stein and Toklas founded
with proceeds from the sale of Picasso's "Girl With a Fan" to further her
own writings. Other materials include jackets of several works by or on
Stein, a number of buttons bearing references to Stein, Fitz and Floyd's
1976 Gertrude Stein stein, and a map, circa 1950, of Père Lachaise cemetery
in Paris. The ephemera consist almost entirely of materials with a rose
motif. The card catalog of works by and on Stein consists primarily of
photostats of cards from the Yale University Library card catalog, and
appears to have been intended as both a check list, and as a catalog of
Metcalf's own collection.
