By and about literary figures and literature.

Various notes and musings of a literary nature found together in a folder labeled San Antonio, that probably were written there but do not directly concern the town. There is a piece, titled Adolescence, which is written on the back of stationary imprinted, Mary L. Chabot, 427 Madison Street, San Antonio, Texas. Mary Lee Chabot was Maria Chabot's legal name. Also in this file are three essays and some short pieces which do concern San Antonio, but were not found with the other writings.

Materials found together under this heading concern literary figures and their work, and also includes quotations from authors and some notes on writing techniques.

Notes perhaps from a class or seminar, on how to write historical material.

An eleven page expression by Maria Chabot on her need to write a novel, dated December 1942.

Notes from various sources and made at various times on how to write, found in scattered folders.

Loose pages and a notebook found together. [There is an entry, dated 11/20/87 Last Day at Ghost Ranch in the notebook.]
