4 undated typescript documents (13 p.), apparently drafts written by John N. E. Brown for an unpublished biography of his wife, Faith Fenton, after her death in 1936: an annotated draft of Chapter One, titled "Memories of Faith Fenton", describes Brown's 1898 journey to the Yukon in the company of William Ogilvie, the Territory's first commissioner, and of Ogilvie's 1897 interview with Fenton for the Toronto Globe; a draft of Chapter Two, describing Fenton's journey with the Yukon Field Force and her arrival in Dawson; a draft relating Brown's first glimpse of Fenton on the streets of Dawson; and an annotated draft tracing Fenton's family history and early youth. Also includes a TLS on Toronto Globe stationary from A. A. McIntosh to Dr. John N. E. Brown, encouraging a proposed biography of Fenton and permitting Brown's use of Fenton's Globe columns. A cabinet card photograph of Faith Fenton accompanies the papers, taken by J. Bruce of Bruce's Photographic Art Studio, Toronto.
