The personal correspondence files include letters conveying opinions on the work of fellow writers or letters seeking Winters' criticism of their works. The Janet Lewis papers, also subdivided according to genre, include her personal and professional correspondence, articles, essays, lectures, novels, librettos, poems, and miscellany.
