Although there are a few letters to and from Dora Russell, the bulk of the file contains letters and memoranda discussing Dora Russell and her book The Tamarisk Tree. A.P. Watt & Son were her literary agents.
Also in the file is correspondence with G.P. Putnam's Sons. There is one letter from Mr. and Mrs. Y.R. Chao regarding small corrections in The Tamarisk Tree. It is addressed to Curtis Brown Ltd., Collins-Knowlton-Wing Inc. There is also one letter from Putnam's Coward, McCann and Geoghegan Inc. to Curtis Brown Ltd.

The original file at the Butler Library is labelled "Curtis Brown Ltd., series 3, Russell, Dora Winifred Black" although there are only two Curtis Brown letters in the file.
