The correspondence often contains expressions of friendship and personal news. Harry Scherman at one point responds to Werfel's novel The Song of Bernadette and, later, takes Werfel's novel Verdi under consideration at the Book-of-the-Month Club. Includes letters of condolence upon the deaths of Manon Gropius and of Franz Werfel. For Alma Mahler's correspondence with the Scherman children, see under: Little Orchestra Society; and Rosin, Katharine.
