http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122625124

The great majority of items in this collection are letters written by Wharton to Morton Fullerton, 1907-1931, most of which date from their love affair, 1908-1910. They offer great insight into their little-known relationship, Wharton's marriage to Edward Wharton, and her literary activities and travels during the period. Also among the letters to Fullerton are manuscripts for three poems written by Wharton. Letters received by Fullerton from Walter Berry, Henry James, and a few others are also present. The remainder of the collection includes letters written by Wharton to Katharine Fullerton Gerould and letters received by Wharton from Henry James, William Osler, Theodore Roosevelt, Edward Wharton, and others.
