http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70710674

The John Wrenn papers contain Wrenn's scholarly notes and research concerning E.L. Masters and J. Dos Passos, bibliographies of secondary literature he consulted, as well as letters to and from other scholars and publishers concerning his manuscripts. Additionally, the collection contains Wrenn's correspondence with Masters' wife and notes on Masters' correspondence with Theodore Dreiser. These letters demonstrate some of the delicate issues and challenges scholars face when trying to obtain permission to use sources from their subjects' estates.
