Additions to the collection include correspondence of Thielen, 1920s-1960s; manuscripts of early, unpublished novels and a play; part of a journal; drafts of unpublished, and copies of published, stories and articles; issues of Holiday magazine (1957-1966) containing Thielen pieces.

Series: I. Works--novels, short stories, articles; II. Correspondence; III. Unprocessed Additions.

The collection was formed as a result of a Departmental practice of combining into one collection material of various accessions relating to a particular person, family, or subject.

Publications: Women in the Sun (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill Co., 1933), Deep Streets (London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1934), Stevie (New York: Dial Press, 1941), The Lost Men (New York: D. Appleton-Century Co., Inc., 1946), Friday at Noon (Henry Holt and Co., 1947)

The additions were the gift of Eric W. Carlson in 2009.
