The bulk of this collection consists of letters to Lewis George Sterner from prominent poets and literary figures from 1927 to 1930, as a result of Sterner's research for his dissertation regarding the trends in American sonnet-writing and relating to permissions for using these writers' sonnets in his thesis.
