Scope and content
Collection consists chiefly of manuscripts produced by Frederick T. Bason, including a handwritten version of the author's manuscript "Summer" (19 leaves, written in 1962) and a two-part typescript of "The Last Bassoon," complete with the editor's corrections (part 1, pages 1-132 and part 2, pages 133-291). File 2 also includes a 24-page booklet of "Fred Bason goes fishing," published in 1959. File 1 also contains the following items: 1. A typewritten note from Fred Bason addressed to the owner of the original manuscript of 'The Last Bassoon,' dated January 1962. 2. A typewritten one-page list titled "Fred Bason has for sale the following splendid books." 3. A two-page handwritten letter dated January 1961, addressed to M. James, written on Fred Bason's author letterhead. In this letter, Bason expresses his gratitude for a cheque for a purchased manuscript, discusses his lectures in England, and mentions potential lectures in Quebec, specifically at McGill University.
