[Albert Morris Bagby collection]. 1890-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/236876955

The collection contains letter and postcard correspondence between Albert Morris Bagby and various European royalty, nobility and diplomats. Also included are photographs, picture postcards, and calling cards. The bulk of the collection concerns the years 1915-1940, with a few news clippings collected in the 1950s and 60s. For the most part, the correspondences thank Mr. Bagby for his hospitality in New York City and Bayreuth, Germany as well as his generous gifts that included subscriptions to National Geographic and The Spur, and copies of his books and others. They are cordial letters, often discussing the wellbeing of family members and expressing regret for not having seen Mr. Bagby during his last visit to Europe. The collection also includes two copies of an inventory written by a Mrs. Ness, an essay entitled "The Wife of Anarchy," and news clippings concerning various European royal families.
