This collection contains the letters and writings of David Lane Wright. The scope and breadth is impressive due no doubt to Wright's compulsive saving, including letters he received as a child. The first six boxes are devoted to Wright's correspondence with friends, family, publishers, and the Air Force. box 1 contains outgoing mail from 1942 to 1963. boxes 2 through 5 contain incoming mail organized either chronologically or by addressee along the lines which Wright organized them himself. box six contains the envelopes from these letters. box seven contains early writings and autobiographical writings. boxes 8 through 11 contain some his writings. box 8 contains college writings and recommendations to the University of Iowa. box 9 contains mostly drafts and reviews of “Still the Mountain Wind.” box 10 contains drafts of “River Saints,” and “Speak Ye Tenderly of Kings.” The final box, box 11, contains various other poems and short stories. Finally, because the addendum was too large to incorporate into this collection and since they overlap, cross references to the addendum have been added to this register where appropriate.
