Ernest Seeman papers, 1930-1975 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25465994

About half of this collection is composed of versions of writings by Ernest Seeman. There are several versions of "Tobacco Town," some with suggestions and emendations by Mimi Conway, Seeman's editor. Other writings include several unfinished and unpublished novels and about twenty essays. A run of diary-notebooks offers a view of Seeman's radical and independent ideas and activities in the 1930s and 1940s. A series of "Other Papers" includes six folders of scattered correspondence. Although a prolific correspondent, according to Elizabeth Seeman, Ernest Seeman apparently saved few letters. There are sketches in pencil by Ernest and Elizabeth Seeman. A final box of unprocessed material also has been kept with the collection, illustrating the condition of most of Seeman's materials as they were received at the Southern Historical Collection and documenting the way Seeman apparently stored his research materials and other personal records.
