http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25300732

Correspondence, writings, financial and legal material, diary volumes, subject files, and drawings and photographs of Charles Phillips Russell. Professional correspondence, primarily 1931-1969, relates chiefly to writing and publishing books and articles, to the work of colleagues and former students, and to higher education. Included is correspondence with publishers (Brentano's, William Morrow, Scribners, and others) and with newspapers and magazines in North Carolina and New York. Letters from Russell's mother, Lucy Phillips Russell, deal with life in Rockingham, N.C.; with her writing; and with Russell's career. Writings include drafts, research notes, outlines, synopses, and printer's proofs of Russell's books, plays, short stories, articles, poems, and newspaper columns and of works by others. Much of this material relates to Russell's biographies of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Paul Jones. There are also papers documenting Russell's financial affairs; short diary and other volumes; subject files pertaining to organizations with which Russell was associated and topics of interest to him; scrapbooks of clippings of articles by and about Russell and on other topics; photographs and photograph albums with images of Chapel Hill, N.C., Russell, family members, and friends; drawings by Russell and family members; an audio tape of a radio production about Horace Williams by John Ehle; and a home movie.
