List of Collection Contents
Note: Amy Buchanan wrote approximate dates in pencil on
many of the items in this collection. In processing this collection
it was determined that the dates that she assigned to several letters
were inaccurate based on information that is mentioned in them.
These will be noted at the end of the contents of each file folder
in which these letters are contained. All other dates from Amy Buchanan
are considered to be correct.
Amy Buchanan's first name is occasionally spelled Aimee. Suckow
addresses a few letters to "Aimee," and the byline on
Buchanan's article on Suckow is Aimee Buchanan. It appears that
Buchanan used Aimee as a pen name.
