Scrapbook, 1901-1938.

Scrapbook, 1901-1938, consisting of clippings, correspondence, programs, and campaign literature. All relate to Weil's club and political work, especially her work with the League of Women Voters, the National Council on Jewish Women, the Montgomery (Ala.) Canning Club, and the Montgomery (Ala.) Federation of Women's Clubs. Correspondents include Franklin D. Roosevelt, Louis Untermeyer, Hugo L. Black, Grover C. Hall, Janette Adams, J. Thomas Heflin, and Dr. L.L. Hill. Most clippings are not dated, but there are several pictures of Mrs. Weil in the clippings. There is at least one letter to the editor of the Montgomery Advertiser from Mrs. Weil, undated, in which she remarks on the need to incorporate towns surrounding Montgomery, Montgomery Co., Ala., into Montgomery in order to attract large businesses and to enlarge the tax base. Of special interest is the correspondence supporting the Kellogg Peace Pact in 1928 with U.S. Senators Black and Heflin, and the clippings on the death of Sidney J. Weil.
