Papers : of Margaret Wade Campbell Deland, 1888-1945.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86147705

The collection contains manuscripts of poems "May in New England, " "The waits," "Bossy and the daisy," "Pronouns," "Dandelion gold," "The succory," and "The clover," and two stanzas from "The message of the lilies." A two page excert "The promise of Dorothea" from "Old Chester Tales"; a one page excerpt from her autobiography; an outline of her novel "Sidney" and a quotation are also included. Deland corresponds regularly with editors and publishers about the development of her stories and articles, proofreading, royalties, serialization, publication in the United States and England, pirated editions and possible dramatizations. Other letters discuss her speaking engagements; social causes, particularly her work with unwed mothers; reader reaction to her books and characters; religious beliefs; fellow authors; and friendship with her physician B.H. Ragle. Many of the letters mention her husband, Lorin Fuller Deland, and his encouragement of her literary and charitable endeavors. Five letters are written from Aix-les-Bains, France, where Deland travelled in 1917 to do relief work for the Authors Fund. The collection also contains several clippings and a watercolor, possibly a self portrait caricature.
