This collection consists primarily of correspondence from Hilaire Belloc to American historian Hoffman Nickerson. It also contains a few manuscripts and typescripts, at least one of which is by Belloc, as well as some of Belloc's notes. Finally, this collection contains two black and white photographs of Hilaire Belloc's boat taken on November 3, 1931. One of the photographs, taken from a distance, appears to show Belloc on the boat. This collection... would be useful to a researcher examining the works of either Belloc or Nickerson as Belloc discusses problems with his own scholarship just as frequently as he advises Nickerson on his.
