BOX 9-25 Correspondence, 1920-2005
The Correspondence series comprises personal and professional correspondence from Free's family, friends, and colleagues, the bulk of which spans from 1937 to 1997. The correspondence is wide-ranging, touching on many aspects of Free’s life and career. Details of her travels in the 1940s are reflected within the series in letters to Emily Blake Cottrell and John Oudine, in a subject file on India, and in a compilation of letters to and from her travel companion, Verna Mae Feuerhelm Cody. Other files of note include letters related to Free’s romantic relationships with Margaret Johnson, Claude James, and Isabelle Ziegler. A file of “early job letters” reflects Free’s experiences with sexism in the journalism profession from the 1930s to 1950s. The series does not represent the entirety of correspondence in the collection as letters are filed throughout other series. Researchers are encouraged to consult the Subject File series for correspondence related to specific subjects.
Material types include letters, memoranda, invitations, greeting cards, telegrams, faxes, postcards, photographs, and writings.
Arranged into a chronological file, a name file, and a subject file.

The Speeches and Writings series comprises articles, books, short stories, poems, speeches, and essays written by Free. The bulk of the writings spans from 1942 to 1999. In addition to published and unpublished writings, the files contain drafts, working files, and background on Free’s publishing company, Flying Fox Press. Files are mostly arranged by type of writing, with the exception of a group of files Free arranged by subject that include a largely unorganized mix of articles, drafts, notes, and fragments. Additional files containing both published and unpublished writings, namely Free’s writings on the Animal Welfare Act, Rachel Carson, China, the Marshall Plan, Albert Schweitzer, and Eleanor Roosevelt, can be found in the Subject File. Notable unpublished manuscripts in this series mostly focus on animal welfare topics. Free’s unpublished manuscript about her experiences in China in the 1940s and her biography of Rachel Carson can be found in the Subject File. Some writings arranged by subject also include photographs, most notably the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps and Women's Royal Navy Service files.
Material types include articles, poems, essays, books, speeches, short stories, outlines, notes, clippings, drafts, correspondence, photographs, and advertisements. Some textual and visual material and images are in digital formats. The file structure of the digital content maintained as received.
Arranged alphabetically by material type or subject.
