The editorial correspondence files are arranged by a subject scheme employed by Hitchcock, Sadie and Feder. A guide to this arrangement scheme can be found in Susan Feder correspondence, box 8, folder 5. Folder titles contain the subjects. Editors for each subject are identified in notes, when known.</p> <p>Other editorial projects covered in the series are the <span class=\"title\">Earlier American Music</span> series for Da Capo Press and Sidney Robertson Cowell's <span class=\"title\">A Chapbook Of Cheer</span>.
