In "The British Chess Magazine" of January 1910, A. C. White discussed the manuscripts of Sam Loyd and William Shinkman (also on page 85 of "Sam Loyd and his Chess Problems"):
"In 1907 Loyd gave me the manuscript collection of his problems; pages of nine or twelve little diagrams in ink, roughly drawn in his exquisite penmanship, with a mere note of the editor to whom the problem had been sent, but no details as to date, or whether it had even appeared. The book is, indeed, a treasure, torn by forty years' vicissitudes; but the most remarkable, certainly, in chess annals. Shinkman's problems are very similarly preserved; but the book is a big fat one. Sometimes twenty diagrams to a page, an inch square, also in ink, with unshaded squares, stained and weather-beaten, too, and likewise most fertile in ideas to anyone who can decipher its mysteries."
Where is the Shinkman manuscript today? Maybe the Cleveland Public Library?
