It also contains correspondence from Albert James Diaz, Special Collections Librarian, requesting biographical information about Frieda Lawrence. Diaz was involved with editing and ultimately publishing a manuscript of Frieda Lawrence's original, found in notebook #1. The manuscript was published with the title, "Gisla" in the January 1958 volume of Manuscripts. The collection also contains reproductive prints and a lithograph, along with 3 notebooks, which were found at her ranch after it was given to UNM.
