Number 1547 FORT WAYNE, INDIANA January, 1967 Some Correspondence Between John Hay and Helen Nicolay about her father, the Sixteenth President, royalty payments,investments and the problems of authorship Part 1 Editors Note: All the originalletters and documents used inthis compilation are to be foundin the Foundation collecton. Itis, perhaps, unusual to have socomplete a file. This can be ex-plained by the fact that MissHelen Nicolay made a longhandcopy of nearly every letter shewrote to John Hay, even to theaffixing of her signature. Then,too, years later (Sept. 11th) shereceived the following letterfrom Alice Wadsworth, thedaughter of John Hay: DearHelen Nicolay ; years ago I cameacross these letters of yours andgathered them together intend-ing to send them to you, butsomehow or other they werepushed to the back of the deskdrawer, and I forgot them.Sorry! Perhaps you have notyet come down from Holdernessbut I am sure these will reachyou eventually, now they arereally on their way.
