Arrangement
By going through the correspondence between Francis and Worthington, it was discovered that originally there had been three sketchbooks and three scrapbooks in the collection. Today only two sketchbooks remain. In dealing with the scrapbooks, W. W. Francis either detached or cut the leaves so that he could separate items dealing with the prominent members of the family. Thus, it is difficult to determine how much of the original material remains. It was possible, through the different sizes of scrapbook pages to identify at least two separate books.
