Correspondence of Sherry Mangan dating primarily from the 1940s and 1950s, including extensive files of carbon copies of his outgoing letters, together with manuscripts of stories, poems, and articles; and some correspondence and manuscripts of others. The collection includes separate files of Fourth International papers, 1939-1960, including correspondence, reports, notes, and twelve issues, 1944-1946, of the Bulletin of the European Secretariat (in French); and Time-Life-Fortune papers, 1937-1956, including correspondence, newsletters, cables, and dispatches. Material on these two significant areas of Mangan's life can be found in his correspondence files as well. Among the correspondents who figure prominently in the collection are the composer Virgil Thomson, a lifelong friend of Mangan's; the publisher James Laughlin of New Directions, for whom Mangan did translation work; and Michel Pablo, leader of the Fourth International.
