Content Summary:

The correspondence covers the period from 1936 to 1974. It is arranged in chronological order and relates mainly to general and personal affairs along with comments from readers, home and abroad. In the early part of the series are many letters from Miles Franklin discussing literary matters. The series contains very few letters written by Dymphna Cusack. Most of the letters she did answer she typed a copy of her reply on the back of the original.

Refer to the Correspondence Index for further information. Additional correspondence (unsorted and unindexed) is contained in Boxes 19, 22, 24, 25, 28, 29.
