Description

Title: Correspondence
Creator: From the Collection: O'Neill, Eugene, Jr., 1910-1950
Published / Created: 1950
Provenance: According to information gleaned from correspondence in this collection, most of these materials were in Eugene O'Neill, Jr.'s house at the time of his death. Elsie and Frank S. Meyer, who were friends and neighbors of O'Neill, Jr. in Woodstock, New York, sorted through his belongings and gave some of his papers to his mother, Kathleen Pitt-Smith, some to his Yale classmate and friend, Norman Holmes Pearson, and some to his life-long friend, Lois Williams Bry; in addition, the Meyers themselves kept some of the papers. O'Neill, Jr.'s papers were later reunited when they were given to the library by the Meyers, Pearson, and Pitt-Smith; some of the papers were also purchased from Pitt-Smith. (See also the Lois Williams Bry Collection of Eugene O'Neill, Jr., YCAL MSS 125.) There are also some materials in this collection that were gifts and purchases from other sources. Source information is recorded on each folder. The 2001 Addition was the gift of David Zincavage, Eugene B. Myers, and Karen L. Myers, 2001.
