"To the moon" - 1857
["The Erl-king"] - 1851

Three small notebooks

These notebooks contain chiefly personal notes by W.H. White concerning D .V. White, the happiness of their marriage, and other reflections, some of which are partly quoted in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Groomsbridge Diary</span>. They also contain notes on Molly White, Lady Robert Cecil and others, as well as draft letter to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Nation</span>, reading notes and other observations.

[The "White" Notebook]

The entries in this notebook are in the same vein as those of the "Black Notebook," but include matter pertaining to D .V. White. Four pages comprise extracts from "Mission notes by Dorothy." These pages have been crossed through and marked "Transferred to Notes from Dorothy's papers &c." See the "Dorothy Notebook". Both the "Black" and "White" notebooks bear a note in W.H. White's hand that some of the entries were included in "Last Pages from a Journal," published as More Pages from a Journal and other papers (1910). Dorothy White drew upon these notebooks in preparing Last Pages (Part III). She did not see the "Black" Notebook until after W.H. White's death.

[The "Dorothy" Notebook]

Contains entries in both W.H. White and Dorothy White's hands. Inserted are four letters from Dorothy White to W.H. White, some of her notes for the Bible class she taught. Notes made by Dorothy White in 1922 and 1929 relate this notebook to the others. The numbers 1-54 added in red ink against the entries refer to Dorothy's commentary [Notes on the Dorothy book].

[The "Black" Notebook]

Entries of reflections and commentaries upon Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shakespeare and others, interspersed with entries of a personal nature, philosophical reflections upon daily occurrences, religion, and other material.

The 1910 Manuscript

W.H. White's account of his relationship with Dorothy White, written before their marriage. The last five pages of the original were destroyed by Dorothy White, who also added two pages quoting selected passages from the destroyed section, and further observations written by her in 1922 and 1929.
