Papers, 1929-1974 (bulk, 1935-1950).

Title: Papers, 1929-1974 (bulk, 1935-1950).

The most significant items include: notes toward a biography of Kurt Weill, consisting of interviews or reminiscences from several of his friends, collaborators, and Lotte Lenya herself; a partial typescript of a late draft of Davis's novel The opening of a door; shorter Davis manuscripts, including "Dutchy Schmidt," "Georgette," "The rabbit," and fragments of a planned second novel; letters from W.H. Auden, Katherine Anne Porter, Caroline Gordon, Colin McPhee, Carmel Snow (editor of Harper's Bazaar), Robert Lowry, Edouard de Bay, Grace Mitchell, and members of Davis's family; a holograph manuscript of Auden's; several manuscripts by the poet Harry Roskolenko; clippings and manuscripts on the French artist Christian Bérard; records of Davis's tenure at Columbia University and various writing workshops; photographs of many well-known artists, including Auden, Bérard, Lotte Lenya, and Jean Genet; and an address book possibly belonging to Lenya. The collection is heterogeneous, consisting of well over 100 personal letters; hundreds of pieces of graphic art (mainly photographs, postcards, and advertisements which Davis apparently used for inspiration or esthetic pleasure) including numerous photographs of his friends and family; manuscripts and publications of his own and of other people (several manuscripts on the Brooklyn psychic Mollie Fancher), including published works by Robert Lowry and James Flora; his financial records from the 1940's; documents including his death certificate and Social Security card; and, some records (mainly in the form of correspondence) of his activities as editor, writing instructor, and writer. Although the collection contains personal or business letters from a variety of well-known artists, in only a few cases is such a figure represented by more than one letter. There are few written records of his work with Lenya in the 1950's, although there are a number of photographs from that time.
