Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Letters to Jack Conroy plus material accompanying the letters, such as clippings, short works by the correspondent, and other ephemera. Topics of letters vary from travel postcards, Christmas cards, and other friendly notes to letters relating to the business of Conroy's literary output. After the alphabetical run of correspondents there are several folders of letters grouped by similar subject, such as requests to have Conroy speak at various functions, fan mail, and solicitations from aspiring authors and others. There are also a few letters to Conroy's co-editors Hugh Hanley (a.k.a. Emerson Price) and to Nelson Algren, as well as letters written to Carolee Hazlett, who acted as Conroy's mouthpiece after his stroke in 1988.
