The bulk of this series consists of Cleve Overton's letters to his wife Jude Andreasen while she lived in several African countries: Niger, Zaire, Senegal, and Mauritania from 1981 to 1987. Also included in this series are Overton's letters to "Dear Ones," presumably friends and family. In both instances Overton's letters cover a wide range of topics from art, culture, race, social activism, travel, and politics, as well as discussing his personal life, activities, and work. There are a few folders of letters from various correspondents addressed to Cleve Overton and there is one folder of condolence letters addressed to Jude Andreasen.
Arrangement:
