Series II includes three of W. B. Yeats's holograph manuscripts, each of which is a unique item, with no evident connection to the other manuscripts. The final manuscript is a two-line quotation from The Countess Kathleen , copied on a card and signed by Yeats. The fourth item, seven pages of notes for a lecture on the power of symbols, which Yeats delivered to The Order of the Golden Dawn, circa 1895, illustrates his interest in mysticism. The folders of preservation copies are labeled with folder numbers which parallel the original material. Jr. Memorial Library at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, were procured through a reciprocal exchange in 1984.
