The collection includes twelve folders chronologically organized (1943-1946). The folders contain letters written by Professor Sutton to his wife and family while serving in Europe during World War II.

Another folder contains information pertaining to writer Gertrude Stein. A nearly 700 pages typed manuscript entitled "Once upon a War" is also part of the archive. According to the author, "Once upon the War records the nature of army life, some military history, and details the way the army operates, a matter not accurately depicted or known usually."
