Series II: Correspondence Files
Scope and Content Note
This series consists of correspondence with individuals and organizations. Along with individual correspondents' files, there are files of Miscellaneous writers after each alphabetical category. A substantial number of the letters are carbons of Miss Witherspoon's fund raising messages. Her individual appeals to friends of the bureau and assiduous hunt for donations and pledges led her to correspond with such noteworthy supporters as H. L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, Louis Untermeyer, Thorsten Veblen, and Upton Sinclair. The correspondence files also show that a strong network of progressive organizations bolstered the NYBLA.
