Contains the letters of actors and writers such as Eugène Brieux, Gilda Darthy, Andree Mery, Pilar Morin, J. Provost and others. Also includes a letter from Jacques Copeau, director of the Théâtre du Vieux Colombier in Paris, concerning a proposed lecture trip to America. The political and business correspondence includes letters from Senator N.A. Elsberg and members of Theodore Roosevelt's family.
