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.

My dear Friend<br /><br />I understand your associate in Chicago has a rather complete list of President Wilson’s works and addresses and I am very anxious to get a copy of this list. It may be that Professor Dodd has an extra copy of it. If not, I wonder if he will not be good enough to let me have his copy so that I may have a copy of it made. I shall appreciate it very much if you will help me out in this matter.<br /><br />I hope all is going well with you and that you are not working too hard. You must not lose sight of the fact that you will have a long and hard road to travel before you complete this big work. As time goes on I am more convinced than ever that I gave you the right advice. From every angle you are the man for this undertaking.<br /><br />With personal regards,<br /><br />Sincerely yours,<br /><br />Cary T. Grayson
