Other letters discuss her speaking engagements; social causes, particularly her work with unwed mothers; reader reaction to her books and characters; religious beliefs; fellow authors; and friendship with her physician B.H. Ragle. Many of the letters mention her husband, Lorin Fuller Deland, and his encouragement of her literary and charitable endeavors. Five letters are written from Aix-les-Bains, France, where Deland travelled in 1917 to do relief work for the Authors Fund. The collection also contains several clippings and a watercolor, possibly a self portrait caricature.
