Letters to Josephine Johnson, 1929-1954.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49196622

In a letter, 1929 January 16, Harriet Monroe rejects sonnets by Johnson for publication in "Poetry." In a letter, 1934 September 24, John Richard Moreland agrees to critique Johnson's work and asks her to look over his own, enclosing a poem "Resurgam." In a letter, 1936 January 25, Robert Alsop invites Johnson to visit. In a letter, 1945 November 1, Nancy Byrd Turner forwards a folder [not present] from Houghton Mifflin. With it is a draft of a reply from Johnson asking Turner to write a letter of endorsement. In a letter, 1954 August 24, Emma Gray Trigg discusses reorganizing their society after the death of "Mary" (possibly the Poetry Society of Virginia after the death of Mary Sinton Leitch).
