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. He discusses his rheumatism, his depression, massage therapy and sessions with his psychotherapist David Seabury, but seldom mentions his own writing. 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 4 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 protʹegʹe 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.
