Physical Description: 68 folders 
Note

Location: Riven Rock Estate, Montecito, California (near Santa Barbara).

Riven Rock was an estate operated by a Board of Guardians consisting of Mrs. Blaine, Harold McCormick, Mrs. Stanley McCormick, and a group of professionals at a cost of over $250,000 per year for Stanley McCormick, incompetent son of Cyrus Hall McCormick.

Joseph H. Barnard acted as executive secretary to the board of guardians for the administration of Riven Rock from 1930 to 1945. Lieutenant Colonel Barnard served 32 years in the United States Army before accepting this position. The 68 folders filed under the name of Joseph Barnard consist mainly of his weekly reports from Riven Rock and very comprehensive monthly reports to the board of guardians.

Several maps of the estate grounds and buildings are found in the folder for September and October, 1931.

The primary interest of Barnard in his reports was the general administration of Riven Rock. From his very complete monthly reports much can be learned: about prices of almost anything from 1930 to 1945, wage and salary rates, problem of securing adequate water supply, the progression of taxes on personal income during the war years, administration of a large estate, and a host of day to day problems. Important to the fruit growing economy of the West is a telegram dated March 1, 1935, which explains very concisely the operation of the Johnston Fruit Company, a growers' cooperative of Montecito to which every fruit grower had to belong in order to market his fruit.

Although Barnard's reports do not attempt to explain the development of Mr. Stanley McCormick's mental health from 1930 to 1945, much can be learned through the minutes of the annual meetings of the Board of Guardians which usually met between March and July. This source of information is valuable as a case history of a mental patient whom some doctors classified as suffering from psychosis, others from schizophrenia. What is unusual about this case is that money was no object in the treatment of this man's malady. Thousands of dollars were spent each month in securing the best medical aid. The reports of the different doctors on this case are revealing. The more complete reports are listed below.

Reports filed under:

  • July 14, 1832. Arguments regarding the relative value of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and medical treatment of the patient. (Mrs. Stanley McCormick is found usually favoring only medical treatment while the brother and sister of the patient are willing to try almost anything).
  • May 20, 1935.
  • April 12, 1937. In addition to the usual report on the mental health of Mr. McCormick includes a consideration of possible shock treatment through the injection of insulin.
  • April 28, 1943. Includes a summary of current treatments of schizophrenia which is very complete.

Other items of interest in these folders are:

  • Musical therapy. Mr. McCormick was interested in orchestral and vocal music and had on the estate a small orchestra. Mr. Eldred, musical director at Riven Rock, reveals the type of therapy in letters dated December 6, 1935, but found in the June and July, 1936 folder. See also monthly financial reports for special artists brought to Riven Rock to perform for Mr. McCormick.
  • Legal case of Miss Copren. She was a R.N. at Riven Rock who was injured by a blow from Mr. McCormick. Information on this case is found throughout the 1935 -1936 folders.
  • Security. A report dated May 27, 1942 reveals some measures of the United States government to protect the California coast from invasion. The general tone of the reports in the war years is that there should be less spending for luxuries that are visible to the public.
  • Western ranches. The guardians thought it necessary to arrange an alternative estate for Mr. McCormick in case of evacuation from the coast. The folder for August, 1942 contains information and photographs of ranches in the West which were considered by the guardians.

Scattered throughout the folders are documents which indicate the legal status of an incompetent person.

Reference to “Fellowship of Reconciliation.” May 3-5, 1935. Dr. Norman S. Barr was pastor and superintendent of Olivet Institute, a community service center, in the heart of Chicago. Dr. Barr served as devoted pastor and skillful fund raiser for the Institute from 1900-1942. Olivet Institute served the poor, especially the poor immigrants, of Chicago. As early as 1911 the Institute had seven departments; athletic, educational, musical, medical, outing, relief, and religious. Under Dr. Barr's leadership the Institute continually expanded. Mrs. Cyrus Hall McCormick generously responded to Dr. Barr's requests and at one time contributed a lump sum of $100,000. Harold McCormick served on the Board of Trustees for many years. Mrs. Blaine was not as enthusiastic about Olivet Institute as her mother was, but she did respond to Dr. Barr's frequent requests. He wanted aid for buildings, mothers' and children's camp at Lake Geneva, but most often for operating expenses. The 1941 and 1942 correspondence contains Mr. Barr's views of international affairs. Throughout the correspondence Mr. Barr's skill as fund raiser is demonstrated.

Bartelme, Mary M. (Judge), 1903 February 5-1933 April 10
Note

Location: Chicago, Illinois.

Mary Bartelme presided over the Juvenile Court of Cook County where she came across many cases of mental deficiency. In the main, this folder concerns an Institute for Juvenile Research toward which Joseph Schaffner, Julius Rosenwald, and Cyrus McCormick Jr. were heavy contributors. This organization is also referred to as the Behavior Research Fund. In 1925 or 1926 it was set up as a private organization, but in 1932 Mary Bartelme spoke of turning it over to the University of Chicago. There is no indication that Mrs. Blaine contributed toward this organization, although she apparently was interested in it ($5,000 from A.B. initially for Behavior Research Fund). Most of the correspondence comes in 1925 and 1926, the time of the organizational drive.

Bartlett, Paul A., 1923 May 8-1954 February 23
Note

Location: Tucson, Arizona.

Paul's father, Reverend Robert Alexander Bartlett of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, was a Presbyterian minister held in esteem by the McCormick family. When he died a small subsidy was set aside for the care of the widow, the mother of Paul Bartlett, from the gift fund of the Mary Virginia McCormick estate. From 1928 to about 1940 this fund, supplemented with small sums from Mrs. Blaine, supported Mrs. Bartlett and Paul who suffered from bronchiectasis and sinus infection. During the 30's when Paul was fighting his disease in Tucson, he worked toward becoming a writer. The Saturday Review of Literature, 1939 June 10 (enclosed) contains a favorable review of “Forward Children,” a novel by Paul Bartlett which is strongly anti war. Correspondence shows that Paul and his mother, although they were straight forward in asking for aid, were very grateful for what they received. In a 1954 letter Paul reveals that altogether he and his mother had received about $20,000 from the McCormicks through the years.

Mr. Bass held the position of Physics and Biology teacher at Parker School circa 1901-1907. He was in close contact with Mrs. Blaine since he had her son Emmons as a student. Mrs. Blaine was very understanding at the time of the death of Mrs. Bass in 1907 so when Emmons died he sent a letter which shows much understanding. Since Bass knew Emmons well, there are several letters which reveal his progress as a scholar. A friendship between Bass and Mrs. Blaine was kept up until 1939. The only favor he asked was that Mrs. Blaine contribute toward a monument to James G. Blaine at Colby College in Maine. Bass' letters are very appealing.

Bauer, Charles C., 1923-1942
Physical Description: 7 folders 
Note

Location: New York, New York.

From February 2, 1923 till January 5, 1929, Charles C. Bauer was an officer in the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association. From the spring of 1929 till the spring of 1933 the organization was known as the League of Nations Association. By July 12, 1934 Bauer was connected with the National World Court Committee, and in January of 1942 he corresponded on behalf of Citizens Emergency Committee on Non-Defense Expenditures.

In 1923 the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association aimed to “secure the insertion in both the Republican and Democratic party platforms, in 1924, of a plank favoring entrance of the United States into the League of Nations.” Mrs. Blaine was active in the organizational work of the Association in the Chicago area for she was appointed to organize the Association in Chicago, Mrs. Blaine also gave financial aid, contributing $1,000 three months in succession in late 1923 and early 1924. In 1925 the Association concentrated on generating enthusiasm for United States membership in the World Court. All types of mass communication were used in this effort. Mrs. Blaine contributed, for example, $2,000 toward the production of a movie “Hell and the Way Out.” From the correspondence of Mr. Bauer it is not certain how much support Mrs. Blaine gave to the Association. However, in 1926 she promised to continue a monthly contribution of $500. April 6, 1926 correspondence contains a receipt for $6,500 from Mrs. Blaine. Mrs. Blaine continued her contribution of $500 a month from 1927 to 1933 besides several extra contributions. The 1928 folder contains the address of Mr. Bauer at the “Meeting of League of Nations Non-Partisan Association of Illinois,” held at the City Club in Chicago on April 19, 1928. The folders in general contain a running narrative of the activities of the Association. Personal letters contain much concerning the financing of the Association in general and Mrs. Blaine's role in particular. Also included are many pamphlets and leaflets that were circulated. This correspondence reveals the workings of an opinion molding organization.

In July of 1934 Bauer asked Mrs. Blaine for a personal loan of $500 to carry him over a crisis. In January of 1942 he appealed for support for his project “to see to it that during the war effort all unessential expenditures of government should be eliminated,” on behalf of the Citizens Emergency Committee on Nondefense Expenditures.

Blair, William McCormick, 1900-1953
Physical Description: 10 folders 
Note

Location: Chicago, Illinois.

1900-1938: Folder contains a variety of letters. Most of them deal with personal matters, such as: his inability to attend Emmons' wedding in 1917, his desire to get his daughter into the Frances Parker School (there was initially no vacancy, but soon there was room; what Mrs. Blaine did was not clear) in 1919, and the arrangements whereby they might share the cost of Aunt Lucy's funeral. Some of the letters from this period - are requests that Mrs. Blaine contribute various causes, including: The Chicago Council of Social Agencies (1921), Juvenile Protection Association (1922), Pension Fund of the Presbyterian. Church (1927), Republican Campaign Fund (1928), Emergency Welfare Fund (1930), and the Community Chest (1933 and 1934). In some cases his letters indicate the results of his previous requests.

1940 to 1953: Folders contain little personal correspondence. Blair continued to make occasional appeals for charities. Among them were: Funds for Hull House (1940), Navy Relief Society (1942), Red Cross War Fund (1943-1945), and the Chicago United Charities (1948). Included in the Red Cross correspondence is an interesting letter from a wounded service man extolling the organization's work on the Italian front.

1940: The bulk of the material in these eight folders deals with Mrs. Blaine's partial financial support of the Kruegars. Emit Jewett Kruegar, wife of Karl, was bedridden and under doctor's care for ten years. Operations, nurses, and treatments, together with occasional trips necessitated monthly, or even more frequent, checks, correspondence and telegrams.

Press clippings: Two of them deal with his participation in public affairs. In 1938, he helped greet Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden. In 1941, he introduced Lord Halifax speaking at a “Stop Hitler Rally.” In 1947, Mayor Kennelley considered him for the Chicago School Board.

Box   120
1903-1909
Note

This folder is labeled as spanning the years 1903-1920, but contains correspondence only to 1909. There is a gap of 12 years due to a break in service.

The 1905-1909 correspondence mainly concerns the Sketch Book Publishing Company affair. Sketch Book was an artistic magazine which had financial difficulties and which the National Society of Fine Arts considered taking over. Cassel's reports contain complete information on the finances of the company as well as his evaluation of the general soundness of the organization. Mrs. Blaine made a $500 loan to the Sketch Book.

Other items of importance in this period are: a proposed loan to Stanley Howard for the purchase of land near Phoenix, Arizona; Cobb-Smith Loan for $30,000, and a report on Miss Flynn, a former teacher at Parker School, whom Cassels believed to be mentally unbalanced.

Box   120
1921-1925
Note

Reports on Mrs. Blaine's real estate, especially the Hubbard Woods Estate. Also a purchase of some rare books; a situation that almost developed into a law suit.

Included are reports on Mrs. Blaine's income tax for the years 1917-1919, and a difficulty which arose with the Treasury Department, which was settled out of court on Mrs. Blaine's terms. There is also a document which outlines in detail the legality of Harold McCormick's divorce from Edith Rockefeller and his legal right to remarry.

Box   120

Box   120-126
1928-1947
Physical Description: 74 folders 
Note

The Cassels papers from 1928 until his death in 1947, concern the affairs of the Stanley McCormick and Mary Virginia McCormick estates, and Mrs. Blaine's connection with them. The bulk of the correspondence contains financial affairs, legal affairs (which not infrequently were fought out in court), and administrative affairs of these two estates.

Both Stanley and Virginia McCormick were incompetent children of Cyrus Hall McCormick. There was a great deal of legal work involved in handling the properties of these two incompetents. Upon their deaths, it took much effort for Cassels and others to settle their estates.

The biggest single factor which Mrs. Blaine had to deal with through Cassels was the friction between Mrs. Stanley McCormick and the McCormick family on the treatment and property affairs of Stanley McCormick. One case went as far as the Illinois Supreme Court. There were many other cases in Illinois and California.

In the Report of Proceedings of the Circuit Court of Cook County, June 29-July 17, 1915 is a summary of Mary Virginia McCormick's life given in Mrs. Blaine's words. Much can be learned from these folders concerning the legal status of incompetent people and the handling of their estates.

From time to time, shares of International Harvester stock were sold for the estates of Stanley and Virginia, so that one can determine the value of such stock throughout this period. Fluctuation in value of these estates is very evident between 1928 and 1947.

From 1928-1947 there are, interspersed with the affairs of these two estates, items of other interest.

Cassels shared Mrs. Blaine's interest in international affairs, world government, and world peace. In May 1937, there is a letter from James Hamilton Lewis of the United States Senate concerning Roosevelt's court packing attempt. Also in the May 1937 folder is a booklet “Pacific Affairs,” which reveals American knowledge of far eastern affairs at that time.

In the June to December 1937 correspondence are a few pieces which treat very generally the “World Foundation.” In 1938, Cassels wrote concerning the “American Committee for World Citizenship,” but in November of 1938 there is a letter which shows that Mrs. Blaine offered to underwrite the “World Citizens Committee” to the extent of $30,000. A document dated September 20, 1941 shows that Mrs. Blaine gave a total of $60,000 to the World Citizens Association up to that time. Mrs. Blaine was the chairman of the executive committee of this organization, and Cassels the treasurer. These folders include the minutes of the December 5, 1938 meeting of the Executive Committee of the WCA? (found in the January 1939 folder) and also the March 3, 1939 minutes. The latter meeting was held in Mrs. Blaine's Chicago home.

The June 1938 correspondence contains several letters from Cassels and others on “The New Commonwealth,” an international society to promote international law and order through the creation of an equity tribunal and an international police force. During the years preceding and during World War II, Cassels sent Mrs. Blaine a great number of reports from the State Department, which can be found in these folders. Examples include:

  • January 1939 papers on the Lima Conference, including a speech of Alfred Landon;
  • April 15, 1939 speech by Ben M. Cherrington of the Dept. of State on American foreign policy in general;
  • June 6, 1939 speech of Sumner Wells (Under Secretary of State) on the war threat;
  • January 1940 pamphlet by Grenville Clark concerning a “Federation of Free Peoples.”

In 1945 and 1946, Cassels corresponded concerning the United Nations; he sent her the charter etc.

In January of 1943, Cassels was instrumental in the “International Relations Center,” toward which Mrs. Blaine contributed at least $1,000. Also included with the 1943 correspondence is a speech Harold E. Stassen delivered before the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations entitled, “The United Nations as a Pattern for a Lasting Peace,” March 31, 1943 (found in April to December 1943 folder).

From 1943-1947 there are occasional reports on the “Nettie Fowler McCormick Trust for the Chinese People,” worth $100,000, the interest of which was to be used by Madame and Chiang Kai-shek, as they saw fit. Document filed March 20, 1943 contains the details of this trust.

In the 1942-1946 papers are several pieces entitled “Eastern Trust,” which seems to concern financial matters of all the McCormicks, but is not explained.

There is a speech dated December 18, 1945, which either Cassels or Mrs. Blaine must have delivered entitled, “The Battle of Peace.”

Letter of June 27, 1946 reveals that Cassels proofread the galley sheets of “The World at the Crossroads,” a publication of the Executive Committee of the World Citizens Association.

Cassels died July 8, 1947 at the age of 72.

Castles was a doctor who specialized in glandular therapy. He wrote to Mrs. Blaine saying that he had known both her husband and her father in law. It seems, however, that he was interested in getting Mrs. Blaine as a patient, since he doesn't even have the names of these men correct.

Mrs. Catlin thanks Mrs. Blaine for the aid and encouragement she has been given toward her musical career. Mr. Catlin was acquainted with Colonel Parker, perhaps a teacher. Mrs. Catlin tried to clear herself of certain questions about her character. She charges her husband with seeing another woman and spending a great deal of money dining with Colonel Parker, etc. This letter is to set the facts straight. Mrs. Catlin was disappointed that Mrs. Blaine withdrew her assistance.

Note

Location: St. Charles, Illinois.

Earlier letters concern tatting work, which Mrs. Caustin did for Mrs. Blaine. She had considerable trouble getting paid.

Last letter asks Mrs. Blaine to buy a house, which Mr. Caustin and his crew had recently built. Since it was 1931 January, there was difficulty in marketing houses. Mrs. Caustin used the argument that by buying the house her husband would be able to put his men to work on a new job. She also wished to sell a thrashing machine patent for $10,000. The patent certificate was signed by Andrew Jackson.

Chapman was employed by the McCormicks although this correspondence does not reveal precisely in what capacity.

In 1916, he travelled with “Aunt Nettie,” Mrs. Cyrus Hall McCormick. In his illness, Stanley McCormick enjoyed visiting with Chapman as they apparently had much in common. Mrs. Blaine paid Chapman's expenses for several trips to Riven Rock Estate near Santa Barbara, California to visit his cousin Stanley. Much of the correspondence with Mrs. Blaine concerns these visits. Announcements of marriages of Chapman's four daughters.

Box   145
1899
Note

Reports on the nature of the possible schools to be opened and the disposition of funds for them.

Prior to July 1899 Jackman was still Assistant Manager of the Chicago Normal School. At that time he accepted Parker's offer of the position of head of the science department and dean of the schools Mrs. Blaine proposed to open. But even the material prior to that date seems to refer to the opening of the schools Mrs. Blaine contemplated. The bulk of the 1899 material consists of quite detailed estimates of income and expenditures, analysis of the several departments and of the purposes of the school as a new experiment in the American school system. These letters are as full and cogent as any in the collection and perhaps the most important save for Parkers.

Box   145
1900 January-July
