BOX 40-49 Correspondence, 1903-1968
The correspondence is divided into two subseries according to Sophie Satin's original organizational scheme: correspondence written by SR; and correspondence sent to him and to his wife. The correspondence by SR actually contains only a few examples of items in SR's hand, for it consists primarily of secretarial drafts or typed transcriptions of SR's letters made by Sophie Satin.
Russian names have been transcribed according to a modified version of the Library's non-Roman language transliteration system. In cases where the preferred spelling of the name differs from its "official" corresponding transliterated version, or has been modified by convention, alternate versions of names, organizations, affiliations and occasionally even brief descriptions have been provided, appearing in square brackets in order to facilitate keyword searching.
Name entries have been based on the most commonly used and/or preferred form of the name, according to their correspondence that appears within this Archive. In some cases, annotations have been added (generally by Sophie Satin) to individuals' correspondence to assist in their identification (for example, "SR's cousin," "harp professor;" or their professional affiliations, such as, "Moscow University"). This information has been included within parentheses following the individual's primary name entry.
Dates have been provided for each entry. In cases where a document is undated, but a date is implied, that date is included within square brackets.
Arranged alphabetically by correspondent name.
