Correspondence
Manuscripts
It appears that Hubble was hardly obsessed with saving his correspondence. Only a few letters from the 1920s and 30s survive, but many of these are scientifically important. Included in this group are letters to and from Harlow Shapley, Vesto Melvin Slipher, Willem de Sitter, Henry Norris Russell, Arthur Stanley Eddington, Joel Stebbins, and Otto Struve. There is also an important run of correspondence with Nicholas Ulrich Mayall dating from the early 1930s, regarding the surveys of galaxies made by the two men. Many of Hubble's later letters are carbon copies made from the files of the Mount Wilson Observatory; these letters date from the mid-1940s and are mainly routine. Hubble's only extant personal correspondence was addressed to his wife during 1942 and 1943 when Hubble worked at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland and Mrs. Hubble was still in California. The spotty nature of Hubble's own correspondence was explained by Mrs. Hubble: "He had a reticence that demanded privacy from the public." Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is addressed to Grace Hubble, although a few letters are addressed to her husband. The Hubbles' social circle included a number of persons with whom Edwin Hubble was not professionally associated. Many of these individuals were English --some Edwin Hubble met at Oxford and some the Hubbles met in Hollywood in the 1930s. Friends and acquaintances with whom there is significant correspondence include the Robert Gore-Brownes, Sir Charles Richard Fairey, Henry Herbert Gordon Clark, Philip Henry Kerr (Lord Lothian), Sir Hugh Walpole, Aldous and Maria (Nys) Huxley, Harold Marsh and Fryniwyd Tennyson Jesse Harwood, Frieda (von Richtofen) Lawrence, George Arliss, and Anita Loos. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by author and addressee. Letters from one individual to another are ordered chronologically. Within the correspondence are scientific, routine business, and some personal letters written by and addressed to Edwin Hubble, letters to Grace Hubble primarily from literary and show business personalities the Hubbles knew socially, and letters of condolence upon the death of Hubble. Persons represented by five or more pieces or significant items listed.
