Phyllis, I am not sure, but you might try looking into the Carus archives at SIU-Carbondale if you really need an answer. They have a lot of that material there--I was a research archivist for the Carus archives for a year and saw much of that. Sadly, I didn't work on that part of the archive. Perhaps you could as Douglas Anderson at SIU, since if he doesn't know there might be a yound Peircean there who might.
