Writings

Scope and Content Note

This series includes speeches and articles--published and unpublished--written by Robert Treuhaft. The files of poetry mostly consist of humorous rhyming doggerel written by Treuhaft and Mitford (either in tandem or separately) or on occasion by their friends (including poets and writers like Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Paul Jarrico), produced for particular private celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries, and parties, and replete with topical and political as well as personal and biographical references. Also included is an internal Communist Party document--a short resolution drafted by Jessica Mitford and submitted to the National Board of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) on behalf of the Twin Peaks Club, a Bay Area branch of the CPUSA.
