The typescripts of the poems associated with this projected book comprise about one-fourth of the collection, the other three-fourths being other typescripts, manuscript rough drafts, correspondence, clippings, and other memorabilia. Few of the poems exist in only a single copy; the often multiple copies with corrections demonstrate Mrs. Hardy's painstaking attention to her craft. The collection has been arranged so that the poems relating to Signature Upon Rock come first. Copies of other poems are alphabetized by title. Although all of the typescript versions of a particular poem have been placed together in Box 1,.it.is possible that manuscript rough drafts for a few of the poems can be found in Box 2, along with another version of Signature Upon Rock. The main part of the correspondence covers the years from 1933 to 1969, and relates primarily to Mrs. Hardy's poetry, although about twenty personal letters are filed separately in another folder. Two scrapbooks contain clippings and correspondence from 1924 to 1963 and also contain a few poems written and published by Mrs. Hardy before her marriage. A folder of original manuscript material includes letters written by Mrs. Hardy, biographical information on other poets, and lecture notes. A few copies of The Asian Story, a group of poems written shortly before Mrs. Hardy's death, can be found as enclosures in letters written in 1967.
