Grace Burke Hubble correspondence
Manuscripts
This small collection consists primarily of letters from Grace Burke Hubble to Ida Crotty. Grace writes about her travels throughout Europe, Edwin Powell Hubble's lectures, social life and daily activities such as fishing. There are quite a few letters where Grace writes from Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland, in the 1940s. In 1944, she describes obtaining a clearance from the Rocket Laboratory to ships firing anti-aircraft guns. There is a letter dated August 4, 1949, after Hubble's heart attack in Colorado, where Grace thanks Ida for sending him French editions of Vogue, which he enjoys very much while recuperating. The folder of miscellaneous items contains The Foothill Guide of the California Institute for Cancer Research membership list, notes, invoices, and a Report of the Library Committee.

Grace Burke Hubble and Ida Crotty notes
Manuscripts
These are notes compiled by Grace Hubble, Ida Crotty, and others, were attempts at telepathic communication. A person would take an object such as a piece of jewelry, a photograph, or a pebble, and describe what they felt about that item. For example, on the evening of July 28, 1959, the third object selected were two fishing rods in an aluminum case. A woman named Maria ----- describes "Somebody holding something between the hands, an Indian sitting on the ground, -something stretched between two hands. An owl, -I see its big eyes, big beak." These notes span from 1959 through 1967.
