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 />With no exaggeration I believe I can safely say that very few have been busier, or put in more hours, than I during these past few months. It all began in December when, as Chairman of the Inaugural Committee 1937, it fell to my lot to be responsible for a thousand and one details which go to make up this event. Two days after the Inauguration the floods descended upon me.<br /><br />When I would go home in the early hours of the morning, too tired to sleep, I would relax by reading a chapter or two of “The Countryman’s Year”, and I cannot thank you enough for it! I am strongly tempted to go into the bee business. The inscription in the book really touches the cockles of my heart.<br /><br />I am very much fascinated with my Red Cross job. The American people have been perfectly wonderful in responding to our appeal for the relief of the flood sufferers. Today we have something over twenty-three million dollars in the bank, and a while ago I wrote to our Chapters that we had sufficient funds to meet the normal needs. Isn’t it wonderful what the American people will do to help their fellow citizens when their needs are desperate and tragic? We have to admit there is a lot of good in the hearts and pocketbooks of many people.<br /><br />I wish I could see something of you, but fate seems to keep us apart. I think of you often.<br /><br />Sincerely and gratefully yours,<br /><br />Cary T. Grayson
