Scope and content
File of letters to John McGahern from the New Yorker magazine. Includes payslips with fees paid to McGahern for stories published, "High Ground", "Around the Big Stone House", "Sierra Leone". Letters from editorial assistants include clearance of permissions for reproduction of stories "Summer at Strandhill" and "The Wine Breath" (1967, 1977). Also letters from Robert Hemenway sending apologies that "Bomb Box" was not published there (1969) and from Mary D. Kierstead (1974) rejecting an unnamed story by McGahern, commenting that " ... it is extremely difficult for a man to put himself in the shoes of a complex, introspective woman".
