Papers, 1833-1859
Correspondence, clippings of poems and reviews, literary manuscripts, and other papers. Many of the letters are to editors, publishers, and critics; a number of them relate to the similarity of Chivers' poems to those of his friend, Edgar Allan Poe, and to their mutual allegations of plagiarism. Among the correspondents are Ossian Euclid Dodge, Moses Dow, John S. Dwight, Edwin Forrest, John Gierlow, Henry Beck Hirst, Jennie Lind, Charles R. Rode, and James M. Smith
