Comprise correspondence, largely from 1968-75, including one letter from Emma Goldman in 1939; essays, novels, and memoirs, including Prairie queen by L. F. and R. G. Ruste (published: Millersburg, Mich. [Advance Print] 1943) and The sunrise cooperative farm community, 1933-1936 by J. B. Schmidt (never published?); and photos (19 of the Sunrise Community). The prose includes short essays and obituaries, particularly about other Russian anarchists; his novels Fatima (68 [i.e., 67] p., typescript, accompanied by pages from an earlier draft) and In the shadow of death, love, and life (823 [i.e., 733] p., typescript with holograph corrections, accompanied by an earlier draft in holograph and miscellaneous pages, corrections, and notes); and his memoirs of the Russian revolution, In the social storm (424 [i.e., 425] p., typescript (photocopy)). Chiefly concern the publication of his writings, the disposition of his papers and books, various anarchist friends and acquaintances, and the condition of the anarchist movement throughout the world.
