Papers and photographs of Conrad Aiken

The correspondence, 1915-1959, chiefly concerns Aiken's attempts to earn a good income through wise investments and good publicity for his books, The Jig of Torslin, 1916; The Charnel Rose, 1918; The House of Dust, 1920; and The Coming Forth by Day of Osiris Jones, 1931. In other letters Aiken mentions the effects of his childhood on his writings; his novel Great Circle, 1933; Anaïs Nin's plans to review King Coffin, 1935; and his desire to avoid the draft.
