[Copies of letters from Hamlin Garland], 1897-1933, 2001-2004
Scope and Contents
This material was found in a folder labeled "Unrecorded letters of HG." Contains copies of letters, and one original, written by Hamlin Garland to various recipients. USC does not hold the originals for most of these copies. For instance, one letter has a note attached: "Attached is a copy of a letter written by Hamlin Garland and sent to the Osage public library. The original letter is framed and hangs in the library for viewing." Also includes copies of Garland's letters to Elizabeth Lippincott McQueen (here addressed as Mrs. Ulysses Grant McQueen) and an article by McQueen titled "Happy Contacts," published in a 1933 edition of Speed. The only original in this folder is a letter sent from Garland to Captain William M. Kerr. Some of these letters are accompanied by later correspondence (2001-2004) with USC librarian John Ahouse documenting historical contexts of Garland's letters and the sources for some of these copies.
