content: Correspondence is between Jack Delano and Roy Stryker or Clara Dean Wakeman of the Farm Security Agency. Stryker gives Delano his field assignments as a traveling photographer; discusses FSA policy and photographic techniques; describes his own philosophy about the work; and discusses the change in budget and focus because of defense emphases, the war, subjects that should be photographed, the activities of other personnel, and personal matters. Enclosed in some of the letters are written guides to areas of the United States, including information about New England prepared by Harold Ballou for the FSA.
