Correspondence
The Correspondence series is primarily comprised of letters written by Alan Campbell to Dorothy Parker during his military service in World War II. The letters, though obviously composed with the military censor in mind, are highly descriptive and evocative of war time experience. Campbell describes his daily activities as well as those of his troops. He also portrays the social worlds of London and Paris, and mentions other writers involved in the war effort such as Major Theodore Giesel (Dr. Seuss). A few of these letters include photographs, which have been housed in envelopes and left with the accompanying letter for the purpose of continuity.
The collection contains no replies to any of Campbell's World War II letters. In all of these letters, Campbell writes fondly of his desire for a continuing relationship with Parker, even though the two divorced within several months of his return home from the service in 1946. It is possible that the correspondence was weeded at some point, to eliminate signs of strife. There are also a number of letters Campbell sent to Parker from Hollywood, presumably while she was either at their country home in Pennsylvania or in New York City. These letters discuss the Hollywood social circle and his script writing. There are also three letters to other recipients: Hiram Beer, the groundskeeper of their Pennsylvania home; the Packard Motor Car Company, complaining of Campbell’s purchase of a “lemon;” and to an unidentified woman named Peggy.
The sub-series Incoming Correspondence is less extensive, but includes letters from Rosalie Stewart, Leland Hayward and Zeppo Marx, all of whom acted as agents for the Parker/Campbell writing team. There is also a small group of letters from Paul Streger to Campbell and Parker, and a letter from Mrs.Edward Warburg, inviting Dorothy Parker to attend a function where Eleanor Roosevelt was to be present.
MANUSCRIPTS
The Manuscripts series is comprised of Outgoing Correspondence, written from Dumas to various recipients. Eight letters represent the author's personal, quotidian contacts from a letter to one of his many mistresses to a letter possibly to François Harel, who requested that Dumas re-write the play, "La Tour de Nesle" from Jules Janin's manuscript. The subseries also includes a letter to a creditor, a letter to a family friend (with a note included from Dumas' daughter, Marie Alexandrine), a letter requesting a loan, a letter written when Dumas was serving in the National Guard, and a letter concerning the staging of a play.
Also included in the Manuscripts series are five nearly complete essays, many of them possibly written for Dumas' French and Italian Newspaper, "L'Indipendente." Two items are likely notes for larger works. There is a complete copy of Dumas' re-written version of "La Tour de Nesle." There is also a fragment of Dumas' play, "Urbain Grandier," which was written with collaborator Auguste Maquet and was first performed at Dumas' Théâtre Historique on March 30, 1850.
A fragment of Jules Janin's "La Tour de Nesle" is also included in this series.
