Correspondence, 1933-1982

The Chester Page collection contains correspondence between Djuna Barnes and such individuals as Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979), Anita Loos (1893-1981), Louise Crane, and Chester Page himself. Also included is a letter to Page from the poet W. H. Auden (1907-1973) regarding the disposition of Barnes's papers and her general well-being. Letters are arranged alphabetically by correspondent, and, where postmark dates are legible, envelopes have been matched to their original letters. Several envelopes in the Louise Crane correspondence file lack discernable postmarks. These have been placed after the dated material at the back of the folder.
