Scope and Content NoteThe papers of Charles Evans Hughes (1862-1948) span the years 1836 to 1950 with the bulk of the collection concentratedbetween the years 1905 and 1940. The papers focus chiefly on Hughes's public service and consist of the following series:Family Papers , Correspondence , Subject File , Speeches and Writings File , Biographical File , Miscellany , andOversize . The Correspondence series is organized in subseries of family correspondence , general correspondence ,secretary of state files, and Supreme Court correspondence. The Addition contains a campaign song book from Hughes'1916 presidential bid.

The earliest items in the collection relate to Hughes's father, David Charles Hughes. Located in the Family Papers, theseitems include letters of introduction by ministers and members of Wesleyan Methodist societies which Hughes broughtwith him when he immigrated to the United States from Great Britain in October 1855; documents attesting to his serviceas a minister of the New York Conference, New Windsor Circuit, Newburgh District; a letter acknowledging his voluntarywithdrawal from Wesleyan University while in good standing; and several papers reflecting his affiliation with Baptistchurches, including at Glens Falls, New York, where he was ordained as a Baptist minister. Other items include hiscertificate of naturalization in 1864 and a letter written by him in 1907 to the Sons of the American Revolution presentinggenealogical documentation entitling Charles Evans Hughes to become a member of that organization.

Papers relating to Charles Evans Hughes begin in 1876 with the family correspondence subseries. Early correspondence inthis portion consists of letters exchanged between Hughes and his parents while he was a student at Madison (now Colgate)and Brown universities. The letters concern Hughes's studies, health and personal habits, recreational activities, andfinances. In a letter of 27 February 1880, he justified having earned money to purchase a pair of skates by writing an essayfor a fellow student. Later correspondence in the subseries includes messages and poems by Hughes and his wife,Antoinette, at Christmas and on birthdays and wedding anniversaries. Letters exchanged between Hughes and his son,Charles Evans, Jr., and his son-in-law, Chauncey L. Waddell, relate to personal financial matters and a few legal questions,mainly dating from the years Hughes was secretary of state.

The general correspondence subseries includes a relatively small group of letters that Hughes retained because of theirsentimental or biographical importance. The letters were originally included in files organized by subject categories in1933-1934 by Henry C. Beerits but later reorganized as a general correspondence grouping by the Manuscript Division in1952 when the collection was first prepared for reader use. Individual and small groups of letters acquired by the Library ofCongress between 1934 and 1952 were incorporated into this subseries. The subseries covers the years 1884 to 1950 andcontains a few letters relating to all phases of Hughes's career. Major subjects include the New York gubernatorialcampaign and election of 1906; Hughes's terms as governor; his appointment to the United States Supreme Court in 1910;the presidential campaign of 1916; international issues confronting the United States while Hughes was secretary of state,such as the armaments race, reparations, Allied war debts, Japanese immigration, and smuggling of intoxicating liquors;relations with Latin America, particularly the arbitration of boundary disputes and Pan American conferences; and hisappointment as chief justice. Included as well are memoranda of telephone conversations with senators William H. Kingand Burton K. Wheeler on 19 March 1937 conveying Hughes's decision not to appear before the Senate JudiciaryCommittee considering the Judiciary Reform bill of 1937 and his subsequent letter of 21 March to Wheeler describing thedockets of the Court and giving a comparative statement of the disposition of cases for the preceding six terms.


Although the subseries of secretary of state correspondence contains references to national and international problemsduring Hughes's years in office, additional material on these topics is also in the Subject File series and to a lesser extent inthe general correspondence subseries as well. The subseries of Supreme Court correspondence reflects his public role aschief justice. Many letters are from citizens complaining of injustices they feel only Hughes, the Supreme Court, or anofficial acting at Hughes's direction, can rectify; others expressed rancor at Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Dealprograms or indicated religious concerns, especially about Roman Catholics. Many of the letters were written by inmates ofprisons and mental institutions. Other letters are from admirers who manifest their esteem for Hughes in letters supportinghis decisions and those of the Court, by sending birthday greetings and unsolicited printed material, by invitations, and byrequests for appointments, autographs, and photographs. Correspondence concerning controversial cases heard by theSupreme Court is in the Subject File series.

The Subject File encompasses all aspects of Hughes's public career. Most of the files were established by Beerits in1933-1934 when he organized all of Hughes's papers except the secretary of state and Supreme Court correspondence files.When the letters were reorganized in 1952, a list of letters transferred was appended to each subject folder. These lists havebeen retained as cross references in the present arrangement of the collection. The Subject File series includes reports,notes, and clippings relating to Hughes's service as counsel or chairman of local and national investigatory commissions orboards from the gas and insurance investigations of 1905-1906 in New York to his appointment by Woodrow Wilson asspecial assistant to the attorney general in an investigation into the breakdown of aircraft production in 1918. The seriesalso includes files from Hughes's two terms as governor of New York, material from his term as secretary of state; paperspertaining to his participation in state and national political campaigns, documents chronicling his role in internationalarbitrations, and a smaller number of files from his tenure as chief justice of the Supreme Court.

The most extensive of the secretary of state material in the Subject File pertains to the Conference on the Limitation ofArmaments in Washington, D.C., 1921-1922, more commonly known as the Washington Conference. It includes draftresolutions, memoranda exchanged between members of the American delegation and with the State Department, annotateddrafts of the four treaties concluded at the conference, press releases, and printed copies of finished documents. Otherpapers from this period included memoranda of interviews with members of the diplomatic corps. These memoranda,arranged alphabetically by country, summarize the interviews Hughes had with representatives of foreign countries from1921 to 1924. There are notes in several of the folders indicating interviews for which memoranda were not received withthe collection.

Files related to Hughes's interest in international adjudication contain documents, notes, reports, and memorandaconcerning his election to the Permanent Court of International Justice, his participation in the Sixth InternationalConference of American States held at Havana and the International Conference of American States on Conciliation andArbitration held at Washington, D.C., the settlement of the dispute between Peru and Chile over the provinces of Tacna andArica, and the resolution of a boundary dispute between Guatemala and Honduras.

Papers representing Hughes's years on the Supreme Court include proof sheets of the last pages of opinions rendered by theCourt circulated among the justices for their comments. Hughes saved these sheets because he believed the comments ofthe justices on the reverse of the pages manifested the "friendly and generous feeling of my brethren who are no longer hereto speak for themselves" and "show the strength of the support for the opinions I wrote in certain difficult cases." Theremainder of the Supreme Court subject files consists of miscellaneous items and correspondence from the publicconcerning issues before the court.

The Biographical File provides a chronology of events in Hughes's life. It consists of "Autobiographical Notes" whichHughes wrote between November 1941 and the end of 1945, memoranda of Henry C. Beerits, drafts and galley proofs ofMerlo J. Pusey's Charles Evans Hughes, and miscellaneous documents. The "Autobiographical Notes" focus on Hughes'spublic life and trace the events and personal reflection which culminated in his private and public decisions. They wereedited by David Joseph Danelski and Joseph S. Tulchin and published by the Harvard University Press in 1973. The Beeritsmemoranda were prepared in the fall of 1933 and spring of 1934 by Henry C. Beerits, who was employed by Hughes toreview and organize his papers. Beerits arranged the papers into subject categories suitable for a chronological overview ofHughes's life. He then prepared memoranda with bibliographical references covering the major topics which Hughesreviewed as time permitted. The Beerits memoranda previously dispersed throughout the Subject File series have beenassembled as a unit in the Biographical File. The Pusey biography, published in 1951 with the approval of the Hughesfamily, was based on information in Hughes's papers and from interviews with Hughes.


The Speeches and Writings File covers the years 1905-1940. According to a statement in his "Autobiographical Notes,"Hughes hired stenographers at his personal expense to record speeches as they were delivered "in order to avoid thepublication of inaccurate or purely sensational scraps based on the hurried notes of a reporter." This practice is evident inthe collection of speeches made during the presidential campaign of 1916 for which there is a fairly complete recordbeginning with a wire of 10 June 1916 and speech of 31 July to the Republican National Convention accepting thenomination and ending with the closing speech of his campaign at Madison Square Garden, 4 November 1916. Speechesmade in 1908 are located in the Miscellany series in a scrapbook relating to his term as governor of New York. The onlymanuscript of Hughes's writings in this collection is a draft of the booklet Foreign Relations, which he wrote for theRepublican National Committee for the presidential campaign of 1924.

Scrapbooks in the Miscellany span the years 1905-1930. Thirty-four of them contain clippings representing coveragemainly by New York newspapers of the gas and insurance investigations in the early part of the century. Three scrapbooksare devoted to Hughes's terms as governor of New York, and one contains copies of his letters to the state legislature andspeeches and extracts from speeches made in April and May 1908. The remaining scrapbooks relate to his term as secretaryof state and to his appointment as chief justice.

Houghton, William E. Jillson, J.J. Jusserand,Frank B. Kellogg, Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924), John V. A. MacMurray, John Bassett Moore, Franklin D.
