The collection consists of holograph drafts of several chapters of British novelist Mary Augusta Ward (1851-1920)'s novel Marcella, with a few pages of galley proofs interleaved, and with holograph corrections and pencilled printer's marks. In addition, there is a folder containing a chapter outline, a plan of the book, and notes relevant to the composition of Ward's novel, all in the hand of the author.
