The bulk of these papers are drafts and finished versions of Davis' literary work, including the novels Inquest to Love and Exodus 20, the short stories, poems, and one-act plays published in Between two Novels (1965), an unpublished novel “A Year to Love," and articles published in the Atlanta Constitution and the Atlanta Times. The collection also contains correspondence about her works, literary reviews, and clippings. Of particular note is a letter written by Flannery O’Connor concerning her refusal to allow the publication of biographical articles (1958).
