Molloy, Robert, 1906-1977. Robert Molloy papers, 1929-1976.

Title: Robert Molloy papers, 1929-1976.

McFee's letters discuss news of the literary world and other contemporary affairs. On 6 Apr. 1944, McFee wrote, "It is my obsession that nobody has ever had the position as national poety that [Rudyard] Kipling had in the Empire. Nobody writes about America as he did about England. I don't suggest that he be imitated but that we need something between [Walt] Whitman ... and Eddie Guest." Letter, 17 Feb. 1948, Charleston, S.C., from William McFee, "I suppose you notice the political rumblings even in the New York papers. The Southern governors were planning secession from the Democratic Party and even the United States ... Sen. Olin Johns[t]on called [William Watts] Ball an effete reactionary, vindictive doting old man whom time has passed by. So I guess Mr. Ball is pretty conservative when Olin goes on like that. They say [President Harry] Truman's Civil Rights scheme is 'unamerican.' " After publication of the non-fiction history, Charleston: A Gracious Heritage in 1947, E. Milby Burton wrote to Molloy, "You have at last accomplished something that I have always wanted to see done, and that is to write a readable history of Charleston."

Knopf, and Elizabeth O'Neill Verner (Box 1); includes various drafts of a work about the life of Iowa native Lewis Dodge (1870-1952), author of books for adults and children (Box 6); and typescript for The Light and the Shadow, a work about life of French foreign minister Robert Schuman, author of the "Schuman Declaration" of 9 May 1950, a proposal that resulted in creation of the European Union / European Common Market (Boxes 2 and 5); Box 5 holds related research notes for Light and Shadow and incomplete copies.

Somerset Maugham (Box 6); various drafts of The Lost Ones and The Best of Intentions, and typescripts of An Afternoon in March and The Other Side of the Hill (Box 3).
