The collection consists chiefly of the typescripts and printed copies of Lee's columns for the "Pittsburgh Sunday Press." With these are some letters, including one from John W. Gardner; and a log of anonymous anti-semitic phone calls received by Lee in 1974, possibly from a member of the "Americans for an even-handed policy in the Middle East." Clipping announcing Lee's 1933 wedding and one praising him as a talented young writer by Florence Dickinson Stearns, 1934, are included.
