Title: Papers of Clarence Day [manuscript], 1900-1925.

The collection contains over 60 letters from Day to Mary Lyon whose writing Day encourages. He offers story ideas, improvements on the plots and other criticism, and suggests publishers.

Many of his letters are illustrated with humorous sketches. In addition there is a letter from Lyon to Day annotated by Lyon, a letter from Louise Godfrey Irwin rejecting a Lyon story, a postal card to Franklin Spier conveying four drawings, the manuscript of "Sonnets in a garden" by Mary Lord, an untitled manuscript on a crescograph by Day, and a photograph of Day. The remainder of the collection consists of the correspondence of Day protogé Arthur Johnson, a Boston writer whose short stories Day attempted to market. There are letters to Day and Johnson from editors of several magazines, accepting, rejecting and suggesting changes to various stories. With these are two letters from Day to Johnson including one discussing Ibsen and doubting his own ability.
