The papers of James Norman Hall date from 1934 to 1952, and consist of three boxes of literary manuscripts arranged alphabetically. His book The Far Lands is represented with various drafts of the foreward, preface and epilogue, and one draft of the entire book. Otherwise, the collection is entirely made up of drafts of his poetry, plays, essays, and articles. Separately acquired is a letter (MsL H177br) to Sharon Osborne Brown (1891- ), Tahiti, 2 Dec, 1942, thanking him for sending "Present Tense," which he enjoyed very much. TLS, 1p.
