Originals (mostly typescript), photocopies, printed, and reprinted versions of the literary output of Ben Hecht, Rose Hecht, and other writers who either collaborated with Ben Hecht or offered their writings to him for his consideration or amusement. This series includes novels, articles, essays, speeches, notes, scripts, poems, sketches, epigrams, and revisions. Untitled prose and poetry are identified with the first line of the piece. Unidentified materials are manuscript scraps and fragments, or items missing title pages. A few other writers wrote essays, articles, and eulogies about Ben Hecht; these works are included in the last section of the series.
