One manuscript, entitled "Vesna ne pridet" (20 p.), chiefly concerns his efforts to get permission to emigrate. The other"I v Khrista i v Boga" (45 p.) disagrees with Aleksandr Solzhenit︠s︡yn's views on the relation between Russia and Communism.

The collection includes the original manuscript of "Surrender on Demand", Mr. Fry's account of his wartime experiences, which was later rewritten for young readers as "Assignment Rescue" (New York, Four Winds Press, 1968). Among the correspondents represented in the collection are Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Roger Baldwin, Norman Thomas, J. Edgar Hoover, and Herman Wouk. In addition to the material relating to the Emergency Relief Committee (later known as the International Rescue Committee), the collection includes correspondence and papers concerning Fry's work as a writer on foreign affairs as well as copies of his books.
