This series contains very little relating to Walker's time in professional practice. The bulk of the papers relate to the A.I.A. censure, with letters from colleagues lamenting the treatment that Walker and his firm received. There are also some papers relating to Walker's time as a board member of the New School. This series also contains letters and documents relating to Walker's work on a personal manuscript and his efforts to have it published.
