Collection Summary

Abstract

This collection contains papers documenting Ellery Sedgwick's professional career as editor of the Atlantic Monthly magazine, 1908-1938, and his personal and varied associations. The bulk of the papers consists of correspondence with contributing authors and poets, notes, and manuscripts in various forms.

Biographical Sketch

Ellery Sedgwick was born 17 Feb. 1872 in New York City to Henry Dwight Sedgwick and Henrietta (Ellery) Sedgwick. Sedgwick's ancestors, a leading family of Stockbridge, Mass., established a tradition of literary achievement and included authors Catharine Maria Sedgwick and Henry Dwight Sedgwick.

Sedgwick attended the Groton School of Massachusetts, from which he graduated in 1890, and Harvard University. Upon graduation as part of Harvard's Class of 1894, Sedgwick returned to Groton to teach classics for two years. He left the school in 1896 to accept a position as assistant editor at Youth's Companion. In 1900, Sedgwick took over editorship of Leslie's Monthly Magazine, a position he held for four years. He later worked for one year at McClure's Magazine and in 1908 for D. Appleton and Company.

Sedgwick began his career with the Atlantic Monthly in 1908, when he purchased the magazine from Houghton Mifflin. At that time, monthly circulation was 15,000, and the magazine ran an annual deficit of $5,000. Sedgwick worked to reverse the trend, and by 1928, he had increased circulation to 137,000. He has been credited with discovering many writers and with being the first American publisher to print the works of Ernest Hemingway. Sedgwick resigned as editor in 1938 and sold the magazine in 1939. He was recognized for his editorial skills by three academic institutions. Tufts University and Dartmouth College awarded Sedgwick the Litt.D. in 1920 and 1921, and he received the LhD. from Syracuse University.

In 1946, Sedgwick wrote his memoirs, The Happy Profession, and in 1947 published a compilation of his favorite pieces from the Atlantic Monthly, titled Atlantic Harvest. He also edited Novel and Story: A Book of Modern Readings with Harry A. Domincovich, which was published in 1939.

His professional activities were not limited to editing. In 1918, he became vice president and part-owner of Rumford Press, an affiliation he maintained through the 1940s. He also maintained ties to Groton and Harvard as a trustee and served as trustee of the Boston Public Library.

Sedgwick married Mabel Cabot in 1904. They had four children: Ellery, Cabot, Theodora, and Henrietta. Mabel Sedgwick died in 1937. Around that time, Sedgwick also had troubles with his own health. He was bed-ridden with sciatica for a few months in 1938-1939, and he suffered from arthritis. He remarried in 1939 [Isabel] Marjorie Russell, from England. He died 21 Apr. 1960 in Washington, D.C.

Collection Description

The Ellery Sedgwick papers document Sedgwick's career as editor of the Atlantic Monthly magazine from 1908 through his retirement in 1938, as well as other personal and professional activities and relationships during this time and until his death in 1960. Correspondents include relatives, literary figures, politicians, and fellow Harvard alumni.

Papers documenting Sedgwick's editorship of the Atlantic Monthly consist mainly of correspondence, office files on authors, notes, manuscripts in various forms (notes, drafts, proofs, and reprints), royalty statements, stockholders' records, Sedgwick's (and his staff's) carbon letters and replies, clippings, and printed materials. These papers make up more than half of the collection. Included is material related to the writings of Wilma Francis Minor and Opal Whiteley; Al Smith's candidacy for the presidential nomination; and Sedgwick's writings on the Spanish Civil War and his trip to Spain in 1938.

This guide contains two indexes to the correspondence in Series II-V: a Select Correspondent Index and a Select Institutional Affiliation Index.

Arrangement Note

The organization of this collection is based loosely on what is assumed to be Ellery Sedgwick's original working arrangement. The collection has been moved several times and material has been integrated, so original order was impossible to maintain.

The papers are arranged in seven series: Atlantic Monthly general files, Atlantic Monthly special subject files, personal files, professional affiliations, publications, oversize papers, and photocopies.

Acquisition Information

The first donation of Ellery Sedgwick papers to the Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) was made by Mrs. Marjorie (Russell) Sedgwick in 1967 and consisted of some Atlantic Monthly files, the Spanish Civil War papers, and Sedgwick's records as an overseer of Harvard University. Family letters and more general papers were donated by Mrs. Sedgwick in 1968, but the bulk of the approximately 1,940 letters written to Sedgwick during his editorship were acquired by the MHS. The Atlantic Monthly Press added a box to the collection in 1987, with the remainder of the material coming in small parcels between 1969 and 1989, the last after the death of Sedgwick’s successor, Edward Weeks.

The Atlantic Monthly general files were initially processed as the Ellery Sedgwick papers, a distinct collection. The additions were processed as Ellery Sedgwick papers II, III, IV, V, Mrs. Sedgwick papers, and Additions. All of these collections have now been integrated into one collection.

Restrictions on Access

The bulk of the Ellery Sedgwick papers (except photocopies and oversize) is stored offsite and must be requested at least two business days in advance via Portal1791. Researchers needing more than six items from offsite storage should provide additional advance notice. If you have questions about requesting materials from offsite storage, please contact the reference desk at 617-646-0532 or reference@lfkgw.com.

Detailed Description of the Collection

The description of Series II-V below includes box and folder numbers used prior to the transfer of the collection to record cartons for offsite storage. These old box and folder numbers have been retained because the Select Correspondent Index and Select Institutional Affiliation Index refer to them. Researchers should use carton and barcode numbers to request materials for retrieval.

I. Atlantic Monthly general files, 1908-1960

Arranged alphabetically.

This series comprises the bulk of the Ellery Sedgwick papers and consists primarily of correspondence, 1908-1960, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s. In addition to correspondence between Sedgwick and authors, agents, and publishers, the files include pamphlets, article reprints, and newspaper clippings, as well as correspondence of Atlantic Monthly staff. Staff members include Mark A. DeWolfe Howe, Edward A. Weeks, Teresa S. Fitzpatrick, MacGregor Jenkins, and Theodore Morrison. (These individuals are not indexed for this series because they worked in an official capacity for the magazine.) This series also contains carbon copies of outgoing correspondence, mostly generated by Sedgwick (which have also not been indexed). A significant portion of the collection consists of correspondence from Atlantic Monthly readers, called "Comments." These are interspersed throughout the files, but are separated from author's correspondence and arranged at the end of each file.

The primarily subject of the correspondence is the publication of articles in the Atlantic Monthly. Many folders contain only a few letters presenting manuscripts. However, there were many authors with whom Sedgwick developed personal relationships and/or whose works were frequently printed in the magazine. Among the authors with whom Sedgwick had extensive correspondence were James Truslow Adams, Mary Antin, L. Adams Beck, Godfrey Rathbone Benson (Lord Charnwood), Gamaliel Bradford, William H. Chamberlin, John Jay Chapman, W. Hans Coudenhove, Mazo de la Roche, Walter D. Edmonds, Felix Frankfurter, Robert Dean Frisbie, John Galsworthy, James Norman Hall, Charles Boardman Hawes, Hudson Hoagland, Albert Kinross, Walter Lippmann, Amy Lowell, William McFee, Margaret Prescott Montague, Samuel Eliot Morison, Edward A. Newton, Albert J. Nock, Charles Nordhoff, Nora Waln Osland-Hill, Arthur Pound, Agnes Repplier, Hilda Rose, Harrison W. Smith, Logan Pearsall Smith, Henry Williamson, Owen Wister, and Hans Zinsser.

Other significant correspondents include Pearl S. Buck, Winston S. Churchill, John Foster Dulles, Rudyard Kipling, Henry Cabot Lodge, Archibald MacLeish, Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Carl Sandburg, George Santayana, William H. Taft, Rabindranath Tagore, Wendell L. Wilkie, and Virginia Woolf.

Some of the correspondence in this series has been photocopied for use by researchers and stored onsite at Ms. N-854. See the List of Photocopied Correspondence below.

II. Atlantic Monthly special subject files, 1915-1966

Arranged by subject.

This series contains four subseries related to significant incidents during Sedgwick's editorship at the Atlantic Monthly. Wilma Frances Minor and Opal Whiteley submitted unusual material for publication in the magazine, the former regarding love letters of Abraham Lincoln and the latter a childhood diary. Sedgwick supported their stories, despite the controversies they caused. Another controversy raised in the magazine was the Spanish Civil War. Sedgwick's politics and stories he submitted made the Atlantic a forum for debate on the merits of the war. This series also contains papers related to Alfred E. Smith's candidacy for nomination to the U.S. presidency.

Correspondents in this series are listed in the Select Correspondent Index and Select Institutional Affiliation Index below.

A. Wilma Frances Minor, 1928-1960

Arranged chronologically.

In 1928, Wilma Frances Minor, a television interviewer and writer from California, presented Sedgwick with the opportunity to publish the story of a love affair between Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge, based on "original" love letters. Minor entrusted Sedgwick with the letters, from which she planned to write a book serialized in the Atlantic Monthly. Upon publication of the first installment, Lincoln experts questioned the authenticity of the letters. Work on the novel continued while Sedgwick contracted with California detective J. B. Armstrong to research the case. Teresa S. Fitzpatrick of the Atlantic Monthly staff was responsible for supervising the investigation. The letters were proven by experts to be forgeries, and in June 1929, Minor and her mother confessed to having created them. Minor claimed her mother was a psychic and that the spirits of Lincoln and Rutledge had urged her to make their story known.

This subseries is divided into three sections. Carton 13 contains Minor's correspondence with Sedgwick and his staff, as well as their correspondence with others regarding the authenticity of the letters. Sedgwick retained the forgeries, which are filed in Carton 13, along with drafts of Minor's manuscript. Correspondence and reports filed by Armstrong, the detective, and correspondence with Paul Angle, president of the Lincoln Centennial Association, are also located in Carton 13. Cartons 13 and 14 contain comments and inquiries about the story and Sedgwick's research on the letters.

Correspondents of note include Worthington Ford, Wayland A. Morrison, Ida Tarbell, Charles T. and William A. White. Also included is correspondence with representatives from Rumford Press and Little, Brown & Co. regarding publication of Minor's book.

B. Alfred E. Smith / Charles C. Marshall, 1926-1929

Arranged chronologically.

This subseries contains letters, newspaper clippings, and comments on an open-letter debate between Alfred E. Smith and Charles C. Marshall printed in the Atlantic Monthly in 1927. Included are six parts: general correspondence, Charles C. Marshall correspondence, Alfred E. Smith correspondence, miscellaneous, publicity, and comments.

Charles C. Marshall, a New York attorney, wrote to Smith in 1927 challenging Smith's candidacy as a Democratic nominee for president of the United States. Marshall charged that Smith, a Catholic, would have a conflict of interest which would impede his ability to fulfill the oath of office. Marshall's letter was printed by the Atlantic Monthly, which then became a forum for the controversy raised over a Roman Catholic running for president. Notable correspondents on this issue included Bernard M. Baruch, Felix Frankfurter, Edmund F. Gibbons (the Bishop of Albany), Christian A. Herter, Judge Joseph M. Proskauer, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lillian D. Wald.

Arranged chronologically by subject.

This subseries consists of one carton of materials related to Sedgwick's interest in the Spanish Civil War, his trip to meet with General Francisco Franco in 1937, and articles written on the war. The correspondence is divided into seven parts, with separate files for Juan de Cardenas, the Spanish Consul; Winthrop Carter, whose son was missing in Spain in 1938; and the Marquis del Moral. Included is general correspondence and material related to trip arrangements. Comments about Sedgwick's politics and his articles were divided into pros and cons. Correspondents include J. Roscoe Drummond, John H. Finley, J. D. M. Ford, W. Cameron Forbes, John A. Gade, and Sumner Welles.

D. Opal Whiteley, 1915-1966; bulk, 1918-1929

Arranged chronologically and by subject.

This subseries consists of material related to the publication of Opal Whiteley's book, The Story of Opal, which was serialized in the Atlantic Monthly from March to August 1920 and published later that year by G. P. Putnam's Sons. The story appealed to many people, but provoked questions about the diary's authenticity. Whiteley claimed to be the daughter of Prince Henri D'Orleans, allegedly raised by foster parents in an Oregon lumber camp. Belief in her story was widespread, and she was recognized by her late father's mother, the Duchess de Chartres. Whiteley adopted the family name, calling herself Francoise d'Orleans. She toured India as a princess of that country (where she had lived as a small child with her "real" parents) and was an honored guest of that country's noble families.

Sedgwick spent years corresponding with people who knew Whiteley to verify her story, but never renounced its authenticity. His most extensive correspondence was with Whiteley and Elbert Bede, publisher of Oregon's Cottage Grove Sentinel. Bede was his primary research associate on the project.

Sedgwick's correspondence with Whiteley, Bede, and others about Whiteley's unusual childhood is located in Carton 16. Cartons 16 and 17 contain comments from Atlantic Monthly readers. Other materials in Carton 17 include correspondence between Sedgwick and Barbara Ward of The Economist about a fund established to aid Whiteley, who spent her last years in a mental institution; correspondence with G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1920-1921; correspondence with lawyers of Vanity Fair in 1920; drafts of The Story of Opal; miscellaneous notes regarding the manuscript; notes on Whiteley's biography; and assorted printed materials, including newspaper clippings.

III. Personal files, 1881-1969

Arranged alphabetically by individual, institution, or subject.

This series contains personal correspondence of Ellery Sedgwick, primarily dating from his later years at the Atlantic Monthly (1930s) and the first decade of his retirement (1940s), documenting his interests and activities outside of the magazine. Because he established personal relationships with many professional associates, the distinction between personal and professional correspondence is blurred. Papers of individuals for whom there were Atlantic Monthly files were moved to that series, unless the letters were purely personal, in which case they are located here.

The bulk of the correspondence, filed in Cartons 17 and 18, relates to political, literary or personal issues. Sedgwick's professional advice on various topics was sought by many individuals. Also included is correspondence with colleagues regarding membership in various men's clubs. Among Sedgwick's correspondents regarding candidacy to the Century Association were Henry James, Pierre Jay, and Edward Forbes. Sedgwick's own candidacy to England's Athenaeum was supported by nominating letters from John Buchan, William Galsworthy, Elizabeth Haldane, Lord Dunsany, and Henry Newbolt. Sedgwick was also a member of Boston's Wednesday Evening Club.

The series also contains letters of Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1820s) and from C. F. Sedgwick (1879-1880), as well as subject files documenting Ellery Sedgwick's intervention on behalf of foreigners seeking assistance in leaving war-torn Europe. Included in the file "Czechoslovakia" are letters of introduction used by Sedgwick for a 1937 trip to that country, as well as correspondence regarding P. Dobias, a student who sought asylum in the U.S. in 1939. The Harding/Hanfstaengl file contains correspondence about the financial support of Egon Hanfstaengl, a German student at Harvard. Hanfstaengl, a distant cousin of Sedgwick's, was the son of Hitler supporter Ernst Hanfstaengl, who spent World War II incarcerated in various concentration camps in England and Canada.

Also included in this series is correspondence with gardeners, book dealers, wine and cigar dealers, and fund-raisers, as well as invitations to social events. None of these correspondents has been indexed. The series also contains condolences sent to Mrs. Sedgwick after Ellery Sedgwick's death in 1960. Letters of condolence from people for whom Atlantic Monthly files existed were moved to those files.

Carton 19 contains an assortment of materials, including essays written by Sedgwick about countries he visited, such as Greece, Portugal, Sicily, and Spain, as well as his handwritten journals (travel diaries) of trips to Japan and South America between 1918 and 1936. The diaries include addresses of contacts, daily activities, and impressions. These diaries formed the basis for articles Sedgwick later submitted to the Atlantic Monthly. Additional miscellaneous materials in Carton 19 include drafts of a manuscript history of the Field family of Stockbridge, Mass. and notes on word ciphers labeled "William Shakespeare."

IV. Professional affiliations, 1898-1959

Arranged by individual institution.

Sedgwick's professional life was not limited to literary associations. As an influential figure in Boston, he served on numerous boards. He was a trustee of the Groton School in Groton, Mass. and the Boston Public Library, as well as an overseer of Harvard University. His wife was appointed by Harvard's Board of Overseers to a special committee to oversee management of the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, Mass. Ellery Sedgwick was also a part-owner and vice president of Rumford Press, which printed the Reader's Digest, among other publications. Also included in this series are files from his days as an associate editor at Youth's Companion.

Correspondents in this series are listed in the Select Correspondent Index and Select Institutional Affiliation Index below.

A. Arnold Arboretum, 1949-1959

This subseries includes correspondence, notes, reports, and committee resolutions, apparently kept by Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, who was appointed to the Committee to Visit the Arnold Arboretum by the Harvard Board of Overseers. The Arboretum, established in Jamaica Plain, Mass. in 1880 as a 500-acre park, became Harvard's botanical gardens. The park is administered by Harvard University and the Boston Department of Parks and Recreation.

Mrs. Sedgwick served during a tense period. In 1953, the corporation which had been founded to raise money for the arboretum challenged Harvard University for control. Included are letters from Mrs. Sedgwick and her husband, as well as "A Survey of the Controversy," by Professor Karl Sax.
