The collection contains several letters declining invitations because of prior commitments; also letters congratulating Harry Salpeter on an interview and a book, and giving an unflattering opinion of Frances Newman; a letter to William S. Braithwaite praising Mary Sinton Leitch's "The wagon and the star"; and a letter to Alexander Jessup discussing the contents of a title page. In a letter, 1909 Nov. 13, New Haven, to Alexander Jessup, Phelps discusses the appearance of the title page of a new book. In a letter 1936 October 26, New Haven, to Mr. Mather, he refuses an engagement on the same day as the Yale-Harvard game. A letter to Miss [Grace Lillian] Strickland, 1941 May 9, sends books for the library at Salisbury State Teachers College in Maryland.
