BOX 73; 107-114 Writings, 1965-1990
This series documents Pearly Bailey's career as an author and public speaker through drafts and proofs of her five books, some of her speeches and lectures, and three of her short stories. An extensive annotated transcript of Hiram Haydn's interview that served as the basis for The Raw Pearl is also included.
Chapter drafts of Between You and Me and The Raw Pearl were not numbered and often undated. In these instances, the processing archivist assigned letter designations to provide clarity between individual drafts.
Materials include articles, chapter drafts and proofs, clippings, correspondence, oral interview transcripts, poetry, and published volumes.
Arranged alphabetically into three file units: Books, Other Writings, and Writings by Others and then alphabetically therein.
