Claude Lewis Family Papers

The Claude Family Lewis Papers are mostly materials related to Claude Lewis and his family: first wife (and mother of his children) Mary, second wife Helen, and his surviving children - Freeman, Virginia, and Isabel. These materials here include letters and other papers from his younger brother, Harry Sinclair Lewis, who, as an author, rose to worldwide fame.

Included here are letters that Sinclair Lewis wrote to his brother Claude, father Edwin, and Claude's children Freeman, Virginia, and Isabel. Sinclair discussed his recent travels and what he did during those travels, especially those to his father. Sinclair did inquire about Claude's family, often asking his older brother to travel with him. He also asked about the well-being of Freeman, Virginia, and Isabel - he offered advice about schooling (especially regarding Freeman), as well as career choices. In addition, Sinclair wrote about his work, including books Mantrap, Dodsworth on Broadway as a play, Jayhawker, and It Can't Happen Here.
