III, 1915-1918, consist primarily of correspondence of Upton Beall Sinclair, 1878-1968, novelist, and members of the staff of the Appeal to Reason, Louis Kopelin, editor, and Walter H. Wayland. The letters relate to the publication of articles by Sinclair and other materials in the Appeal to Reason, to the possible serialization of Sinclair's King Coal, to an attempt by Sinclair to get the Appeal to take over a motion picture of his, The Jungle, and to a suggestion that the Appeal use novels of Sinclair as premiums for subscriptions.
