Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Papers. .5 linear foot 1905, 1914, 1938-1959, undated. This collection is divided into six series: general correspondence, miscellaneous correspondence; legal documents; printed materials; writings; and miscellany. The bulk of the general correspondence (1914, 1938-1959) is outgoing. Primary correspondents include Senator James E. Murray and Miles Romney. Other correspondents include Harry Billings, author John Gunther, Henry A. Wallace, and Leif Erickson. The sole piece of correspondence from 1914 is a telegram from Maury to the clerk of the Supreme Court stating his belief that the 1907 session laws concerning military affairs were no longer in force. The rest of the general correspondence presents Maury's views on Democratic Party politics in Montana and national and international issues of the 1940s and 1950s. The miscellaneous correspondence consists of one letter (1905) written by Ann Maury to Supreme Court Justice George R. Milburn urging his rapid decision in the "Nipper Case". The legal documents series consists of an apology (1905) to the Supreme Court by Maury for an objectionable petition for the rehearing of a case. The writings series (1940-1959) includes articles written for The People's Voice and other writings, concerning Montana, national, and international politics and issues of the 1940s and 1950s. The miscellany series contains some genealogical information, a pro-Leif Erickson anti-Burton K. Wheeler speech by Lou Boedecker, a campaign brochure for Henry A. Wallace, and a receipt from the Progressive Party. Printed material has been separated to the Library.
