This manuscript was compiled by an anonymous scribe after Hastings' death, like EL 6871, HM 15369 and Hastings Collection, Literature Box 1, Folder 6 (all in the Henry E. Huntington Library). Each of these four manuscripts is written in the same anonymous scribal hand. See Perdita (link below) for a full description of contents and Victoria E. Burke, ''My Poor Returns': Devotional Manuscripts by Seventeenth-Century Women', Parergon, 29.2 (2012), pp. 47-68 for more information.
