Scope and Contents
This collection consists mainly of W. Somerset Maugham's correspondence with Bertram Alanson, dating from 1921 through 1958
when Alanson died. Alanson was Maugham's investment consultant, but more importantly he was Maugham's friend. The letters
are very revealing about Maugham's activities, his philosophy, his works.
There is additional correspondence to Alanson; some concerning Maugham and some are written by members of Maugham's family.
