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.

Dear Friend<br /><br />Absence from home is the reason I have not answered your letter sooner.<br /><br />In reply to your question as to the amount of mental work you can do, there are three things that you can guide your activities, mentally and physically: (1) Pain around the region of the heart; (2) Shortness of breath; and (3) Fatigue. When you find any one or all of these three symptoms present, slow up or stop altogether for the time being.<br /><br />I think a rest would be beneficial in your case. Perhaps it is not absolutely necessary, but it certainly would be helpful in any event. I am enclosing the prescription for Metaphyllin. This is in tablet form, as you know, and comes in tubes, and as previously suggested, take a tablet morning and evening. These have no injurious effects and one can take them for an indefinite period. Should you go off to Arizona or some out-of-the-way place, I would suggest that you lay in a supply of several tubes.<br /><br />I am sure you will find that you will be feeling better and will continue to improve. I dont mean to be alarming, but you have been under a long and hard strain and your heart has paid toll for it. I want you to be more cautious from now on. You can be the doctor and the judge by observing the three signs before mentioned: Pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.<br /><br />I hope you will drop me a line once in awhile and let me know how you are getting along. This letter is not meant to be pessimistic in tone but perfectly frank, and perhaps - a little over-cautious, annimated by a warm feeling of friendship, along with whatever my professional judgment is worth.<br /><br />It was fine to have the little visit with you, and I hope they will occur more often and not so far apart in the future.<br /><br />Sincerely yours,<br /><br />Cary T. Grayson
