Correspondence, 1922-1987
|
|
This series includes personal and professional correspondence, both typescript and
autograph, between Suesse and others. A substantial amount of letters to her
mother, Nina Quarrier, document her personal and professional life in New York
City as well as her trip abroad to study with Nadia Boulanger. A small number of
letters to and from her first husband Courtney Burr, second husband Charles Edwin
Delinks, step-father Robert Chase Stevens, uncle Arthur Quarrier, and grandmother
Sallie L. Hogan further document her family life.
The series also includes ample correspondence from her manager, Miriam Stern, that
documents the business aspect of Suesse's music career. Other letters provide a
snapshot of her vast network of prominent figures in the music, literary, and arts
scenes, including Tallulah Bankhead, George Bartieneff, Nadia Boulanger, Vera
Brodsky, Sammy Cahn, Samuel Chotzinoff, Virginia Faulkner, Michael Feinstein,
Leonard Feist, Frederick Fennell, Arthur Fiedler, William Gaxton, Ira Gershwin,
Oscar Hammerstein, Hildegard, Coral Potter, Ethel Bartlett Robertson, Jack
Robbins, Carlos Salzedo, Oscar Serlin, Hans Spialek, Kay Swift, and Emanuel

Biographical Materials, 1978-1999
|
|
This series contains a variety of materials related to Suesse's career, including
awards, memberships, legal documents, and transcriptions from radio show
appearances. A possible memoir, "Nobody Gets Top Billing," provides anecdotes
regarding colleagues Suesse worked with, though it is incomplete. Other items
provide insight into Suesse's personal life. The juvenilia demonstrate that from
an early age Suesse was creative in other artistic mediums beside music. Suesse
also danced, wrote poetry, created paintings and drawings, and designed costumes
and dresses. Report cards, travel papers, personal and religious documents,
scrapbooks, a recipe book, and family historical information all reveal further
details about her life. There are also materials compiled by donor Peter Mintun,
including correspondence with others regarding Suesse, research materials
assembled about her, and details regarding a special dinner party Mintun planned
in her honor in 1979. |
