The Walter O. Evans Collection of James Baldwin is comprised of a typescript draft of Baldwin's Another Country (New York: Dial Pub., 1962) and correspondence sent from Baldwin to Mary Garin-Painter, David Adams Leeming, and Eugene Lerner dating from 1953 to 1987. In his letters Baldwin discusses his writing projects and personal life (ranging from his relationships to his experience living abroad in France and Turkey). Baldwin also reflects on his experience at the MacDowell Colony where he was in residence while working on his novel Giovanni's Room. The correspondence constitutes a window into Baldwin's creative process and life during this period.

Album containing the correspondence of Benjamin Strutt of Colchester and John Pattison Jr. of Witham. The letters are highly literary in nature, and contain many references to, playful imitations of, and comments on MacPherson's Ossian, Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, the works of Laurence Sterne "and other obscene sentimental writers." They also document the men's classical studies, including quotations and translations from both Greek and Latin authors, as well as their interest in the moral philosophy of Shaftesbury and Lord Kames. and In addition, Pattison and Strutt exchange personal and family news, share scholarly and professional goals, chart their "inclinations" and "fancies", write elaborate set pieces called "Visions", and comment on their own friendship. A letter from Pattison attempts to console Strutt for the death of his son in 1781, noting that "the Cause of Death must be Accidental, and not Natural," and reminding him of their philosophical speculations.
