- Box 51-59
- Component identifier:
- Series 12
- Content Summary:
-
This series consists mainly of drafts and notes for a biography of Ross's father. Folder one contains biographical information and notes relating to Robert Samuel Ross. The remaining folders comprise drafts and notes. Unfortunately, most of the material in these folders is fragmented. As with the drafts in Series 11 the folders contain various chapters but they are not annotated or arranged in a sequential order. Most of the pages are not numbered and different revisions of the biography are difficult to identify.
Ross worked on the biography of his father in his retirement years and unfortunately it remained uncompleted at the time of his death in 1987.
This series comprises 9 boxes.
