Scope and content
File consists of 2 diaries and one sketch of “The Radical” (R.S.K.) by DCH [Dorothy Choate Herriman] (1946), in the back.
Diary 10 documents a party for Sir Charles G.D. Roberts' 80th birthday attended by Canadian literary people, W. Perkins Bull, etc. Notes also an "at-home" at the Art College with the Reids, Jackson, Sir Wyly [Grier] etc.
In Diary 11, Herriman writes of her interest in Robert Sheldon Kenny, a friend of Dorothy Livesay, beginning in 1946. He began his career as an anarchist but gradually worked for organized labour as a socialist. Dorothy H. met him when he worked in a second-hand bookshop in Toronto. A penciled note on the first page by Dorothy gives an outline of their friendship written in 1972.
