## The Parsed Corpus of Early English Correspondence

### Letter collections

The PCEEC is made up of 84 files, each containing letters from a single edited collection (or in a few cases from two related collections). This is a subset of the collections that make up the CEEC. All the collections contain the same letters as in the CEEC except for Clifford, Henslowe, Oxinden, and Royal2, which contain a subset of the original (due to copyright restrictions).
