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.

TO OUR MEMBERS:<br /><br />TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY DINNER <br /><br />The annual dinner of THE ALFALFA CLUB will be given in the large ballroom of The Willard, on Saturday evening, January 15, 1938, promptly at seven thirty o’clock. As it will be the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Dinner of the CLUB, there is already an unusual desire for plates, making it necessary to limit the number of plates to each member, not to exceed five, including his own. Any deviation from this number, will be allowed if possible.<br /><br />You are requested to send to the Secretary, at the earliest moment, the names and addresses of your guests, by letter only, so that formal invitations may be sent to them in your name. As the guest list will close December 27, you are urged to be prompt. The dinner will be $8.75 the plate and you are asked to have your check accompany your guest list when sending it to the Secretary.<br /><br />At the annual meeting of the CLUB held on Tuesday, November 23, 1937, at five o’clock, at the home of Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, 3825 Wisconsin Avenue, the following were elected as officers of the CLUB for the year 1938: with the following members to constitute the BOARD OF MANAGERS The President of the CLUB has appointed Thomas W. Brahany the Chairman of the Committee on Entertainment, William Payne Meredith the Sergeant at Arms, and George H. O’Connor the Water Boy. Mr Brahany will have associated with those members who are the possessors of exceptional entertaining flairs. Mr. Buck’s contribution to the evening’s entertainment will be in the superlative as usual.<br /><br />There will be brief eulogies in memory of our late and honored members, Andrew Jackson Cummings, William Beale Hibbs, Joseph Taylor Robinson, United State Senator from Arkansas and William A. Rodenberg, former Representative from Illinois.<br /><br />At a meeting of the Board of Managers held on November 5, 1937, Dr John Stewart Bryan, Amon G. Carter, Dr. William Mather Lewis, Dr. William McClellan, Dr. Jmares F. Mitchell, The Hon. Sam Rayburn, William Ridgway Rodenberg, Merle Thorpe and The Hon. James W. Wadsworth were elected to membership in the CLUB.<br /><br />You are again asked to respond early by letter to the Secretary, thus making it unnecessary to send a second notice.<br /><br />BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS, <br /><br />Note: On account of an omission, discard the announcement of November 24, 1937.<br /><br />Black Tie<br />Dinner Coat<br /><br />
