Washington Spiegelberg Papers

 Collection
Identifier: AC 412

Scope and Content

The bulk of the collection deals with correspondence concerning the financial difficulties of Washington Spiegelberg from 1929 to 1942. Many of these letters and telegrams were between his uncle, Frederick Spiegelberg, a New York judge, his cousin George Spiegelberg (Frederick’s son), a New York attorney, and Washington Spiegelberg. The correspondence indicates that Washington Spiegelberg lived, if only for short periods of time, in Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wyoming, California, and Alaska.

Collection also contains a series of seven letters by Frederick Spiegelberg to his father Solomon Jacob Spiegelberg, dated 1897. Another letter, also in 1897, from Solomon Jacob Spiegelberg advises his sons of the death of their mother, Katherine Spiegelberg.
