http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26209116

The papers of Wesley Frost unevenly document his thirty-two-year career (1912-44) in the U.S. Foreign Service and Department of State. Frost's diplomatic career is documented here mainly by his outgoing correspondence (1917-44), a mixture of personal and professional correspondence. For the period of his residence in Asuncion, Paraguay (1941-44) as Minister and U.S. Ambassador, there are file copies of official communiques exchanged between Frost and U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull (1871-1955). Also present in the collection are drafts of Frost's writings, newspaper clippings, and photographs.

Organized into five records series: I. General Correspondence; II. Official Correspondence; III. Writings; IV. Miscellany; and v. Photographs.
