- Adlai Stevenson Fundraising Dinner, April 25th, 1956, at the Waldorf Archive of Correspondence and Planning

No Place, No publisher, 1956. Unbound. No publisher or place. All 1956. Approximately 30-40 pieces. Most are duplicate typed sheets, as well as some blank fundraising forms and envelopes, and a lengthy guest list, including number of tickets needed. These papers relate to a campaign fundraising dinner Adlai Stevenson and his campaign held on April 25th, 1956 at the Waldorf. This includes duplicates of letters of invitations addressed to a variety of people; confidential campaign memos; blank fundraising forms; and a lengthy guest list that includes Eleanor Roosevelt, among others. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm (name of owner and firm withheld for privacy). The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising, and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts, especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide, including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities, including financing the Flying Tigers in China, as well as work for the OSS, using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner, their ties to those who did are strong. GOOD condition. All housed in a manila folder. Some are stapled, many bear creases and are toned, with some pencil or pen notes scattered throughout. Good .
