Selwa Roosevelt:

A Preliminary Inventory of Her Collection of Fleur Cowles in the Manuscript Collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center

Scope and Contents

Over 100 letters from Fleur Cowles to Selwa "Lucky" Roosevelt (1964-1998) make up the majority of this collection, but also present are a small number of copied letters from Lucky to Fleur (1975-1983), correspondence regarding a Fleur exhibition at the Folger Shakespeare Library, a proposal and research notes for a Fleur article to be written by Lucky, a few clippings about Fleur, and some photographs and negatives. The material remains much as it arrived at the Ransom Center. The eighty letters that arrived in the 1998 shipment were combined with the small amount of correspondence arriving in 2002, and a very little organization was done to finalize the chronological order.
