The papers contain twenty letters or fragments, all but one directed to Edward William Bok chiefly regarding Stanton's poems which Bok published or rejected, particularly "The love lights of home," "Only to love you," "His refuge," "The love-sign of the rose," "Love's kingdom," "The comforter," "A song of gifts," and "In the old fields." Also discussed are an article "When John Wesley preached in Georgia"; publication of Stanton's poem "How shall I love you" without his permission and under a false name; his friendship with Bok; honors Bok received; and lyric writing. In a letter, 1895 January 9, to Joseph Knight, he gives permission to use the poem "With my pipe." "Harper's Bazaar," "Jenness Miller Monthly," "Ladies Home Journal," and Margaret Sangster are also mentioned. There is also a magazine photograph of Stanton.
