Scope and Content Note
The Harris, L. mss. consists of the correspondence of Leon A. Harris, 1926- , author,
engendered in the writing of his book
Upton Sinclair,

The letters from 1931-1964 are those to and from Upton Beall Sinclair, 1878-1968,
author and social reformer, which Harris acquired during his research. The later
letters to Harris are from many who knew Sinclair, were swayed (or not) by his
works, or have written about him. Others are from libraries which supplied copies of
