Letter from Newcastle to Mrs. McCormick, ????-07-05

The Eleanor Medill (Cissy) Patterson Papers consist chiefly of Medill, McCormick and Patterson family correspondence, Joseph Medill business and political letters, Chicago Tribune historical material, and a collection of letters of Joseph Medill and others to and from important people. The papers cover the years 1846-1910, approximately, with most of the material falling in the 1850-1899 period. The name of the collection reflects its provenance, not its contents. There is much information about Mrs. Patterson in letters written by her parents, grandparents, and others, but only a few childhood letters written by her.
