Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

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.

Text begins: "Now that the 'Godlove S.] Orth consular bill has passed the House as an amendment to the regular diplomatic and consular appropriation bill it is sure to become law I think, and I think my fate is most likely sealed thereby. ... Can you do any thing for me? Do you correspond at all with Grant?"
