Correspondence with Stern consists of about 200 letters (including picture postcards--one of Stern's preferred modes of communication), starting in 1964 and continuing with fair regularity until 2016. Many of them consist of requests for comments on manuscripts, others touch on issues having to do with Columbia, still others provide advice to his correspondent on personal and career matters. Not a few are simply exchanges between friends. Also included in the collection are a number of typed draft manuscripts and of inscribed offprints.
The Freund letters series is much smaller--some two dozen dealing chiefly with personal matters, dating from 1961 to 1997. Freund was a mentor to his students, and he was generous with advice and help to many colleagues for the rest of his life. His letters bear witness to a side often hidden behind his slightly aloof professional persona.
