Manuscripts
The collection consists of correspondence written between Upton Sinclair and his friend and colleague, Thomas Hastie Bell (1867-1942). As both men were writers and political activists by profession, much of their correspondence deals with the intersection between literature and politics. Specific subjects addressed within their correspondence include twentieth-century American literature, communism in the Soviet Union, labor unions and the labor movement in the United States, socialism in the United States, the Spanish Civil War, and twentieth-century politics and government in the United States. Individuals discussed within the collection include Alexander Berkman, Frank Harris, Rudolph Rocker, Leon Trotsky, and Oscar Wilde

The collection contains correspondence written by Bell and his friends and colleagues; it is predominantly concerned with both political issues (especially anarchism) and Bell's literary work. The letters are arranged alphabetically by correspondent name with incoming and outgoing correspondence kept together. There are a small number of original autograph letters by Bell but the majority are carbon copies, author's retained copies, photocopies, and contemporary copies. Correspondents include, among others, Leonard Dalton Abbott, Roger Baldwin, Ekaterina Konstantinovna Breschko-Breshkovskai͡a, Lord Alfred Douglas, Elmer Gertz, Frank Harris, Pryns Hopkins, Joan London, Nellie O'Hara, Upton Sinclair, and George Sylvester Viereck. The collection also contains a small number of manuscripts, documents, and ephemera; the manuscripts, mostly by Bell, concern both political and literary matters and focus on Oscar Wilde and Frank Harris.
