The correspondence series documents the most important parts of Wilkins' career and her literary and personal relationships. The correspondence is particularly rich in that it contains both incoming correspondence and carbon copies of Wilkins' outgoing correspondence.
The series contains substantial correspondence with Saul Bellow, William F. Buckley, Babette Deutsch, Howard Nemerov, Edgar Smith, and John Updike, and smaller amounts of correspondence from many other prominent literary figures. Additional correspondence related to editorial projects, teaching work, and translation is filed in Series II.
Correspondence with Karl Shapiro is filed in Series III.
