The Massachusetts Historical Society holds the Edward Weeks papers, ca. 1934-1989. This collection consists of personal papers of Edward Weeks, writer and editor of the Atlantic Monthly magazine. Papers include personal correspondence, lectures, notes on writings, and materials on fishing.
There are some Plath related materials in this collection. I found the following earlier this year.
1) From: Edward Weeks To: Margaret Clapp, 29 January 1957.
Letter discusses Plath's completing her degree at Cambridge. Includes some or all of a letter by Plath detailing her travels and experiences abroad as well as her intention to get a teaching job when she returns to Massachusetts. Weeks sent the letter to Clapp asking, "Is she worth looking into as a possible instructor in English" at Wellesley College, where Clapp worked.
2) From: Margaret Clapp, To: Edward Weeks, 1 February 1957.
Lets Weeks know that she forwarded his note to the English department. She seemed doubtful as Wellesley had "four or five poets already who are so busy creating that the rest of the faculty does the work."
The Edward Weeks papers are unprocessed, so the collection may hold other correspondence to, from, or regarding Plath. Another collection of Weeks' papers is held by the Harry Ransom Center (HRC) at the University of Texas, Austin. This collection consists of 69 boxes of correspondence, manuscript works, proof copies, clippings, and other materials. I was unable to locate a finding aid for this collection via the HRC web site.
