Donald Ryder Dickey personal papers, 1911-1916.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/501432474

Collection consists chiefly of personal letters to Dickey, some newspaper clippings of persons and happenings of interest to him, numerous wedding invitations, and a copy of his will, dated 1916. These papers -- letters, newspaper clippings, social invitations -- although small in number, provide a window on an important phase of Dickey's life, when he was slowly regaining his health after an almost-fatal heart attack and beginning active life again. A few letters from his mother and female friends originated from Paris and Switzerland in August 1914, during the first weeks of World War I.
