http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33034259

Contains papers of Thomas Bentley Mott (1865-1952), author and U.S. Army military attaché in Paris, France, and his wife, Rose Gabrille Georgette (Saint Paul) Mott (b. 1891), infirmière-major of a military field hospital in France during World War I and founder of Aid to the Côte Basque, a relief agency that assisted French children during World War II. Bentley's papers include correspondence, 1905-1945, and newspaper clippings, ca. 1929-1937, concerning his biography of U.S. Ambassador to France Myron T. Herrick (1854-1929) and his own autobiography; Herrick and General John Joseph Pershing (1860-1948) figure prominently among correspondents. Letters, 1909-1942, to Georgette are mostly in French and discuss her war work. A scrapbook, 1940-1942, documents her work for Aid to the Côte Basque. Also included are citations and awards, 1917-1919, and extracts, 1917, from diaries of nurses at the French front.
