Correspondence, 1955

In addition to the notes retained in many of Kimball's manuscript folders, this sub-subseries consists of other material probably assembled by the Roberts while working on their biography of Kimball. Included in the correspondence are two letters Kimball sent from Munich to Horace Jayne that were received posthumously, as well as his postcard to the Roberts, which they forwarded to Sturgis Ingersoll. There are also letters from Henry Clifford to Mary Roberts and a typed transcript of his to Henri Marceau recounting the events of Kimball's death. The transcript of an undated note to Richard Offner, in which Kimball apparently makes reference to the effects of the stroke he suffered, is probably in George Roberts' hand. The typescript of an interview, apparently conducted by the Roberts of Mrs. Thomas Fitz-Hugh, a friend of the Kimballs from Virginia, has been added to this sub-susbseries. It, along with what appears to be Roberts' transcript of a note from Kimball to Mrs. Fitz-Hugh, were originally processed with Kimball's personal letters. Other material the Roberts apparently reviewed, consisting of a copy of Kimball's will as well as memorial literature and obituary clippings, are now filed with Kimball's estate documents.
