Letters and other papers which McCormick had kept in his home rather than in his office. The contents of many of the folders are fragmentary, and in effect supplement correspondence or records in other series. Also included in the Home Files are letters by, to, or about numerous members and relatives of the McCormick family, letters from a few personal friends, material relating to McCormick's patronage of musicians and musical events, and data on household expenses and maintenance. Included is correspondence, 1892-1934, with the Rev. James G. K. McClure, president of Lake Forest College and president of the McCormick Theological Seminary, and his wife. Also present are recollections of ten men employed by McCormick, Deering, and other agricultural implement manufacturers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who were interviewed in California by Herbert A. Kellar in 1930.
