Scope and content
File consists of three typescripts of "A Letter of Consolation". Folder (1) contains draft (1), which is a hard-bound typescript entitled, "Dear Father: A Letter of Consolation". Although Nouwen wrote the original letter to his father six months after his mother's death, it is likely this typescript was bound as an early draft for circulation and comments. Folder (2) contains a hard-bound typescript copy of draft (1), and includes a note with editorial remarks from Don Postema. Folder (3) contains draft (3), which is a copy-edited typescript of "A Letter of Consolation", and includes a note from Harper and Row copy-editor Shelley Thatcher, as well as a composition order by Catherine Hopkins and Tom Dorsaneo of the Religious Production Department at Harper and Row.
