Biographical material includes resumes for Sue Fuller and information detailing one of Forst's works purchased from Fuller including examples of string and dimensions.
Letters are all written by Sue Fuller to longtime friend Florence Forst. Within the letters Fuller discusses her artwork, her trips to Iraq and Iran in 1977, exhibitions at the Guggenheim and Brooklyn Museums in 1978, and Fuller's views regarding aesthetic merit and exhibitions of Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Robert Motherwell, Ad Reinhardt, and others. Underlying themes throughout most of her correspondence deal with feminism and feminist artists Cindy Nemser, feminist organizations like the "Guerrilla Girls," and writings by Linda Nochlin. Other topics discussed include the Bauhaus, Museum of Modern Art, and the College Art Association.
