 Series

Scope and Contents

This series contains family correspondence such as letters sent from Winston to his grandmother; and correspondence between Winston, his parents, and brother, Jack.

This series also includes letters from Wayne Buth, presumably Winston's childhood friend; correspondence between Winston and his ex-wife Mary Jane; letters from presumably friends, colleagues, and former students; letters and accompanying documents from Mouton Publishers regarding the publishing of Hewitt's book "Through Those Living Pillars, Man and Nature in the Works of Emile Zola"; and greeting cards such as birthday and holiday cards.
