Papers, 1904-1948 (bulk 1934-1942).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53906734

The collection includes personal correspondence, to and from Robert and Caroline Hunter, personal papers, photocopies of photographs and letters, newspaper clippings, printed materials, and notes. Apart from a few early newspaper clippings, the bulk of the collection covers the years 1934 to 1942 when Hunter was at his most conservative. In 1934 and 1935 he was engaged in writing his memoirs and some of his correspondence deals with his earlier history, particularly his work against tuberculosis in the early 1900s. He also corresponded with political leaders and candidates offering advice to Wendell Willkie, Raymond Moley, Martin Dies and Joseph Martin. Nearly half of the collection deals with his efforts to promote his book on revolution. The papers from 1923 to 1948 are arranged chronologically and include both correspondence to and from Robert and Caroline Hunter and some personal papers. The correspondence contains original letters that were sent to the Hunters, while the letters sent by them to others are drafts or carbon copies. As an aid to researchers there is a chronological calendar of correspondence that gives a brief description of the letters and papers from the years 1923 to 1948. Added to that is an alphabetical index of the people who corresponded with the Hunters and the dates of the correspondence.
