The collection consists of nine letters between Sandra Leonard Starr, Richard L. Feigen, Frances [Beatty?], and Yann Le Pichon regarding the publication of Le Pichon's monograph, Le monde du Douanier Rousseau. Included is a copy of a letter from Jeanne Bernard-Rousseau recommending Le Pichon's access to the Rousseau archive. In letters to Feigen, Starr additionally discusses her life in California and, briefly, her research on Joseph Cornell. Also present are several photographs and transparencies Starr ostensibly provided or intended to provide to Le Pichon. This material was discovered inside a copy of L' opera completa di Rousseau il Doganiere anonymously donated to the Los Angeles Public Library, but presumed to have come originally from Starr. The volume accompanies the collection.
