Arrangement

The collection is arranged in five series:

  • Series 1. Writings
  • Series 2. Correspondence
  • Series 3. Printed materials
  • Series 4. Sheet music
  • Series 5. Photograph

In Series 1. Writings, both the poetry and the prose are arranged alphabetically by title and by first line where no title is given. The verse precedes the prose which in turn is followed by the ballet libretti.

The correspondence is arranged by subject: a) Letters to Mary Borland Thayer Fox in response to "The Art of Dying" (arranged alphabetically by correspondent); b) Other letters directed to Mrs. Fox; c) Correspondence in regard to the publication of A Path Across the Night (arranged chronologically); d) Letters to William L. Fox following the publication of the volume; e) Other correspondence to and from Mr. Fox.
