Eleanor Roosevelt, Volume 3

by Blanche Wiesen Cook

  Note on Sources and Selected Bibliography

  The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library (FDRL) at Hyde Park are in several collections, as cited in the notes. Series 70 largely includes correspondence with public officials and citizens; series 100 includes more personal correspondence and papers of the Roosevelt family, donated by the children. Basic to this work are several individual collections, notably the Molly Dewson, Marion Dickerman, Lorena Hickok, Esther Lape, Joseph Lash, Henry and Elinor Morgenthau, Aubrey Williams, and FDR papers. Anna Roosevelt Halsted papers donated by the children are in the ER and FDR Library. Although Earl Miller’s papers are missing, his later correspondence and reflections upon the past are in the Miriam and Robert Abelow papers at the FDR Library.

  ER’s correspondence with Jane Addams is at the FDRL and at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection (SCPC). I am grateful to Mary Lynn McCree Bryan for documents from the Jane Addams Papers Project. See Mary Lynn McCree Bryan, The Jane Addams Papers Guide (Ann Arbor, University Microfilms, 1985).

  Carrie Chapman Catt’s papers are at the New York Public Library, including the file on the Christian Women’s Protest Against Germany’s Treatment of the Jews. Her letters to ER are at the FDRL.

  Gertrude Ely’s papers have not yet been located. Although there is correspondence with ER at the FDRL, her life story has yet to be told. I am grateful to Lorett Treese for biographical memorabilia on Ely in the Bryn Mawr College Archives, to Anonymous of Fowler’s Beach for letters and memories of Ely, and to Rodney H. Clurman.

  Isabella Greenway’s Papers are in the Arizona Historical Society, Tucson.

  Alice Hamilton’s correspondence with ER is at the FDRL and in the Jane Addams Papers Project. I am grateful to Barbara Sicherman for excerpts from Hamilton’s daybook and Hamilton’s articles on Germany: “An Inquiry into the Nazi Mind,” NY Times Sunday Magazine, 6 August 1933; “The Youth Who Are Hitler’s Strength,” NY Times Sunday Magazine, 8 October 1933; “Hitler Speaks,” Atlantic, October 1933; “Below the Surface,” Survey Graphic, September 1933; “Sound and Fury in Germany,” Survey Graphic, November 1933; “The Plight of the German Intellectuals,” Harper’s, January 1934; “German Intellectuals,” NY Times, 7 January 1934.

  ER’s correspondence with Fannie Hurst is mostly in the Fannie Hurst Papers, in the Harry Ransom Collection, Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin. Hurst’s correspondence with Ruth Bryan Owen in this collection is significant.

  The Helen Rogers Reid, Harold Ickes, and NAACP Papers are at the Library of Congress. ER’s correspondence with Molly Dewson, Hilda Worthington Smith, and Charlotte Everett Hopkins is at the FDRL and the Schlesinger Library. Other significant collections at the Schlesinger Library are Pauli Murray, Pauline Newman, Barbara Deming, and Edith Sampson’s important UN file, and ER correspondence. Frances Perkins’s lecture notes are at Cornell. Frances Perkins’s papers and oral history are at Columbia University. The Lillian Wald Papers are at the New York Public Library and at Columbia University. The Varian Fry Papers are at Columbia and the offices of the International Rescue Committee.

  ER’s monthly columns in New York State’s Women’s Democratic News were folded into the national Democratic Digest in 1936. In 1938, ER selected her favorite daily columns and published them in My Days. These are undated except by month and year. Now, thanks to Allida Black and her staff, they are all online. The New York Times and the NAACP’s Crisis Magazine were basic to this study.

  Also in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library: the Anna Roosevelt Halsted papers (ARH), David Gray (ER’s uncle) Collection, and the Grace Tully Collection. In addition to the Grace Tully Papers in the FDRL, I am grateful to Glenn Horowitz for use of the Grace Tully and Missy LeHand papers in his collection. The Martha Gellhorn Collection is at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) Archive is in Geneva and at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection, and the Woody Guthrie Archive is in New York. The Glenn Horowitz Collection is in New York. I am profoundly grateful to Peter Pratt (Trude Lash’s oldest son) and Elaine Pratt for the ten boxes of Trude and Joe Lash’s papers, and to Franklin Roosevelt III and Nina Roosevelt Gibson for access to familial archives.
