Consists chiefly of twenty-three autograph letters and cards (1952-1965) by Toklas to her poet friend Lloyd Frankenberg and his wife, the painter Loren MacIver, sent from Paris, where Toklas was living. In her letters, she writes about her long-time companion Gertrude Stein, mutual friends, her meetings with actor Donald Southerland, Frankenberg's poems and books, reviews of MacIver's artwork, other poets and authors such as Rousseau and Walt Whitman, and about her arthritis, doctors' bills, the bitter cold winters in Paris, her travels to Italy, and her editors. There are two letters written to Frankenberg and his wife on behalf of Toklas by Joseph A. Barry of the New York Post. Also included are two letters (1950) by Toklas to W. C. Clifford, thanking him for a book he sent and declining an invitation.
