{"value"=>"<p>This guide lists and describes the manuscript materials held by the Pforzheimer Collection that were created by Timothy Shelley. These items have been acquired throughout the history of the Collection and are kept at the New York Public Library.</p> <p>The first Timothy Shelley manuscripts added to the collection were a batch of letters to his lawyer, William Whitton, purchased through Maggs Bros. in 1922. By the time of the death of Carl H. Pforzheimer I in 1957, seventeen Timothy Shelley manuscripts had been acquired.</p> <p>Over the next few decades, under the auspices of the Pforzheimer Foundation, the Collection acquired three Timothy Shelley manuscripts. Since the Collection's move to the New York Public Library in 1986, only one Timothy Shelley manuscript has been accessioned: the earliest one, a letter dated 26 Nov 1797, to Lt. Col. Lee.</p>"}
