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 Sir<br /><br />It occurred to me that you might be related to the late Dr Wm Grayson of Virginia and that you might appreciate something that was formerly worn by him—He was our family physician for many years and I was named after him—At his death he left me his watch & Seal—which I wore for many years. I doubt if you would care to use the watch as it is very old, heavy, & a key winder & now a poor time keeper—As I am now advanced in years & have no son to leave it to should be pleased to send it to you should you care to have it—My Father & Mother came from Richmond Va and Dr Grayson was an intimate friend as well as family physician & lived near us in Brooklyn NY—Let me hear from you if you think you would like to have the Watch or Seal, or both—The Watch has his name inside the case & the Seal I think has initials WC.<br /><br />Hoping to hear from you I am<br /><br />Yours truly<br /><br />Wm Grayson Adams<br />99—Water St<br />New York—
