The club held a black tie dinner at the Mark Twain House and Museum on October 7, 2019. The file holds correspondence, invitations, and other records of the event, as well as a copy of the paper "1869" presented at the dinner by an invited guest, historian William Hosley. Also present are three photographs: one of active club members; one of active members and past members invited as guests; and one of all attendees seated at the dinner table.

Autograph manuscript, possibly in the hand of Horace Bushnell or Caleb Henry; accompanied by an undated autograph letter, signed, to Howell Cheney from J. Hammond Trumbull's daughter Annie Eliot Trumbull (1857-1949), verifying that the handwriting is not that of her father.
