Series Description:

From the Series:

The correspondence of Henry Mellen Prentiss consists primarily of Letters to Associates, Senators, Admirals and book publishers. The majority of his letters deal with his attempts to have his book published with letters to publishers as well as personal friends to get their feedback on his work. Later on, his letters are written to Senators from Maine and Admirals of the United States Navy in an attempt to have his research recognized by somebody and used for the common good. Very few of his letters have a personal tone and fewer still are written to family. There is a an incomplete chronological list of the correspondence at the beginning of the box.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
