Manuscripts c. 1927-1990.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42741414

The manuscript writings are primarily texts which Dick wrote or which were written by others for books he illustrated. While travelling, he generally made notes to write from later, and soon after most of his major trips, he prepared newspaper articles for the "News & Courier" or "Charleston Evening Post."

King, who initiated the project, and the text of "Carolina Low Country Impressions" by Sprunt.
