momentary) which caused him to lose his job as a waiter. He reluctantly visited Mrs.
Blaine (her secretaries) to suggest she make up the wages he had lost. The
secretaries continually wondered whether he would initiate a law suit.

Barnard, Joseph H., 1930-194568 folders 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.

programs of this organization. At times Mrs. Blaine sent contributions to the
organization.
Other organizations which Barnes corresponded about were: The International
Committee On Moral Training Inquiry, which was designed to promote moral training
and good citizenship through the public schools; Committee of Fifteen, which had as
its purpose to combat prostitution in the Chicago area; Chicago Church Federation,
designed to organize the Chicago Protestants; Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America; World Court Committee, of which Barnes was chairman; In most
cases Barnes' letters do not go into detail about the organization. Mrs. Blaine was

Mrs. Blaine employed Mr. Barnett as her chauffeur and mechanic for her Locomobile

In 1943, long after his employment with Mrs. Blaine had terminated, Barnett wrote a
letter to her outlining a program for his proposed “Mrs. Emmons Blaine
Foundation.” Some of the points of this program are: pushing for a federal law
forbidding private citizens to own or manufacture fire arms, censorship of movies,
magazines, books, etcetera (suppression of all atrocious crimes and sex problems),
establishing a youth education program including a Club, magazine, and lectures. No

Barr, Norman B., 1900-19433 folders Location: Chicago, Illinois. 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.

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

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

Location: Chicago and Walton, Maine.
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.

Sometime previous to 1931, the Mary Virginia McCormick Trust Fund gave about $5,000

adequate provision for playgrounds, leaving the money unspent. Dr. Bates tried to
give the money back to the estate but this was not allowed. Through the years, Bates
kept his eyes open for a worthy use of this money. By 1949 the amount reached
between $6,000 and $7,000. Bates suggested using it for a Child Welfare Division. At

Bauer, Charles C., 1923-19427 folders 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, 1900-195310 folders 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.

1903-1909
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.

Reports on Mrs. Blaine's real estate, especially the Hubbard Woods Estate. Also a

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.

a copy of the latest income tax law passed by Congress.

Box
120-126
|
1928-194774 folders 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.

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

|
1900 January-July : More of the material in this folder deals with administrative details.
