Abstract:

Correspondence, receipts, and reports of R. M. Adams, son of Cyrus Hall McCormick's sister Amanda. Included are many letters from his wife and children; his brother, Edward S. Adams; and his sister-in-law, Grace C. (Mrs. James W.) Adams, and her sons. The papers, separated from the files of Nettie Fowler McCormick, Cyrus H. McCormick, Jr., and Anita McCormick Blaine, reflect many years of appeals by members of the Adams family for cash gifts and loans from the McCormicks due to financial reverses, medical costs, and the struggle to educate the Adams' children.
