Also present are drafts of the well-known essay "English Letter Writers" (1905) and research notes for various biographical projects. Several poems are also included with a letter from Strachey to Leonard Woolf. The Correspondence Series is composed of three sections: Subseries A. Outgoing Correspondence, 1885-1931; Subseries B. Incoming Correspondence, 1889-1931; and Subseries C. Third-Party Correspondence, 1890-1957. Most of the letters present are accumulations of Strachey's correspondence with his mother, Lady Jane Strachey, and Leonard Woolf.
