COPIES OF HENRY PAPERS FROM HUNTINGTON.

This series contains copies of materials contained at the Henry E. Huntington Library, in Pasadena, California. The copies are of items that Rhees removed from the premises during the course of his employment at the Smithsonian Institution. After his death his wife sold the materials he had collected instead of returning them to the Smithsonian. Rhees had collected the materials in the hopes of someday writing a biography of Joseph Henry. The division primarily contains copies of letters, biographical and autobiographical data, and cards indexing the letters.
