| 541 | |a This collection appears to have come from several sources. The provenance of the transcribed letters is unknown, though it is likely that they were donated by Clifford Drury who transcribed them from original letters at Whitman College. The manuscript by Cowley came from the Columbia County (Oregon) Historical Society. The handwritten recollections by Cowley were donated by Margaret P. Cowles in 1966. The typewritten recollections of Henry and Lucy Cowley were donated by Thomas Teakle in 1947. | ||
