Cary T. Grayson Papers
Description
An account of the resource
The papers of Cary T. Grayson, personal physician and friend of Woodrow Wilson, came to the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in 2005, initially as a loan. They were formally donated to the WWPL by the Grayson family in Dec. 2008. Additional gifts of papers were made by the Grayson family in succeeding years, which were eventually incorporated into the larger collection.
Compiled over Dr. Grayson’s colorful life, the collection covers every aspect of Grayson’s military service, career, family life, and personal interests. It is arranged in 13 series (listed below), many with their own finding aids. The largest series, Correspondence (40 linear feet), includes letters and other documents from thousands of individuals. It is clear that Dr. Grayson realized that he had a unique window on the historical events of his era, and he kept everything from seating charts and menus of state dinners to newspaper clippings and family calendars. He wrote diary entries while in Europe with President Wilson for the Paris Peace Conference and scribbled notes after the President was stricken with a stroke in 1919. The bulk of the papers date from 1907-1938, but the collection includes documents from as early as 1864 and as late as 2008.

Dearest Gertrude<br /><br />Berry was in when you telephoned. He went as far from the telephone as he could, but even so, I did not enjoy the talk with you as I would have had I been entirely alone—and, something, perhaps, the weather, it is very heavy and rainy here, made the connection poor, so I could barely hear you.<br /><br />Three letters from me in one day! Never, never, charge me again with being indifferent! The very best you have done was one lone letter. I don’t mean by this to say that my affection is as three to one, but I will say it could not be more devoted, or more lasting—That is lots better than a comparison.<br /><br />Darling, a thousand thanks for calling me this afternoon. I was so happy to hear your voice—and to know that you were back safely.<br /><br />I am planning to go up to New York Friday afternoon at four. p. m. Directly after a meeting of the board of the Emergency Hospital. I am anxious to see you, sweetheart, about many things, and, oh! so very anxious just to see you, my dearest. Yes, I am sorry than I cannot stay with you—but I am coming anyway. The days drag without you. I need you in a thousand ways, and love you more.<br /><br />We may be able to go down to Elberon to see how the cottage looks. I am so glad you are pleased with the picture. Of course, I would not want to go without you; but we will talk it all over when I arrive. But, I hope we can arrange to go.<br /><br />Sweetheart, we had company for dinner—a Doctor Baker—and some gentlemen from Chicago attending the National Chamber of Commerce, called on me—I met them in Chicago last week—and I am due at the hospital at nine, so this is a very hurried incomplete letter, but nevertheless, is the bearer of loads of love for the only girl I have ever loved, or ever will.<br /><br />Good night, dear—dear Gertrude<br /><br />Cary
