Major topics of the correspondence with the Klarmanns include the following: publishing matters pertaining to the work of Franz Werfel, including plans and permissions for new editions of Werfel's works, and Klarmann's securing of a publisher for Zwischen Oben und Unten, a posthumous collection of writings by Werfel; administrative and scholarly matters pertaining to the Mahler-Werfel papers held at the University of Pennsylvania; and the arrangements for the reburial of Franz Werfel in an honorary grave in Vienna, in 1975. 1 letter from Anna is a statement appointing Isolde Klarmann as the literary executrix of the Franz Werfel literary estate (after Adolf Klarmann's death). Included are a catalogue from an exhibition of Anna's sculpture (held in Leverkusen near Cologne in 1981), which contains an essay by her entitled "Die Gestalt des Menschen in der Kunst"; a photocopy of a photograph of Anna Mahler in China, in 1984, inscribed with a message to Isolde Klarmann (for the original, see photographs); and 6 clippings related to Anna Mahler, from newspapers and magazines. 1 of the clippings includes a letter that Anna Mahler wrote to the editor of The Saturday Review.
