Scope and Content
This collection consists of letters and supporting documentation, books on the art of letter writing, a small miscellaneous grouping of catalogs and photographs, and issues of The Wolf Magazine of Letters from June-July 1979 to Summer Quarterly 1991. The earliest letter, from the Marquise de Sevigne, dates from 1695; while the most recent was signed by entertainer Mike Douglas in 1980. Most of the letters date from the 19th century.

P. S. I hardly ever write letters -- sometimes to women. But your letter was just the sort one likes to get -- full of fun and criticism and information. It is safely under lock and key. You half promised more?
