The bulk of this subseries consists of drafts of chapters and book sections with accompanying notes. Some of the drafts (labeled “original notes” correspond to specific chapters in the book) while others represent earlier drafts of sections not necessarily included in the eventual text or of full sections of the book not divided into chapters. One folder contains suggestions for the author, Gwenfread Allen, from various parties – both at the university and in the wider community – who had read early drafts of the text. Another concerns the use of the finished book’s text by the War Claims Commission and is dated 1953 May 18. One folder contains correspondence to and from Thomas Murphy regarding his decision to hire Gwenfread Allen to write Hawaii’s War Years.
