Correspondence, 1940-2011
The Correspondence series is organized into four subseries, 1940s-1970s, 1955-1992, 1973-2001, and 1990s-2011 reflecting the various accessions of Stein material. Each of the subseries is arranged alphabetically by correspondent/subject and is an integration of numerous small alphabetical runs that Stein had maintained. There is some overlap in correspondents and subject matter between the four subseries.

The 1940s-1970s subseries consists of correspondence that was received in multiple accessions between 2012 and 2014. The correspondence includes incoming and outgoing letters from the period Stein served as a U.S. Army intelligence officer and from his early professional career. The correspondence makes note of Stein's time spent as a visiting professor and lecturer and also includes letters of reference from his past employers.
A portion of the correspondence is personal in nature, sent from Stein's family members. This includes letters to and from Stein's wife Virginia. Letters to and from Stein's sister Valy Weiner discuss her move to the United States.
