Murphy, Emily Ferguson

Bird, Florence.

Two typescript letters from Florence Bird to Elizabeth Long, addressed as "Bessie", on Royal Commission on the Status of Women letterhead with some general updates about her life and work. Included in the file is a typescript letter, presumably written by Long marked "never sent" outlining concerns about equal pay for women potentially dominating the findings of the Royal Commission in part because of what can be accomplished when women aren't viewed as a threat for leadership roles.

Long, Elizabeth

Bradley, Marcia W.

One typescript letter from Marcia Williams Bradley, archivist and director of the Sophia Smith Collection at the Smith College Library about the renaming of the Radcliffe Women's Archives to the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library. Also in the file are carbon copy typescripts of letters form Long to Bradley about the Smith College Library, the development of the Aberdeen Library and its donation to the University of Waterloo, including references to Waterloo University Library Doris Lewis.

Long, Elizabeth

Clay, Margaret.

One manuscript letter from Margaret Clay to Elizabeth Long expressing regret about news of Thelma and Harold [Leega?] and sharing information about Robert Stark, his ties to Creston [British Columbia] and a talk his daughter Freya gave in 1944 at a meeting of the Canadian Institute of [?] National Affairs.

Long, Elizabeth

Kaufman, Emma R.

Three typescript letters regarding the papers of Caroline MacDonald, the work of Emma Ratz Kaufman in Japan, and the possible donation of Kaufman's papers to the Lady Aberdeen Library at the University of Waterloo.

The first letter, from Kaufman to Long, makes reference to Kaufman's work with the YWCA in Japan including Canada House, Toki Hamano and the move of Caroline MacDonald's papers from New York to the Victoria College Archives at the University of Toronto.

The second and third letters are both from Long and written on the same day, consisting of a response to Kaufman and a letter to Doris Lewis about her correspondence with Kaufman. In the letter to Kaufman, Long praises Kaufman's work in Japan, expresses belief that MacDonald's papers will be better used in Canada than in the United States, and pitches the University of Waterloo as a home for Kaufman's paper. Of note is Long's rationale for the donation of all of Kaufman's papers so that future generations can "get the "feel" of the human being with whom they are establishing a contact - across the intervening years" and postscript inclusion of an anecdote about the unfortunate destruction of the papers of Cairine Wilson by her family, following her death. In Long's letter to Lewis, presumably written after her letter to Kaufman, Long provides context about her pitch to Kaufman, including references to the establishment of Canada House and her local ties to Waterloo. The letter ends with a brief mention about being sad about her "dear friends Floring and Wyle" and their [health and estate].

Long, Elizabeth

Waterloo is a young, progressive university, and I am sure the Chief Librarian, Mrs. Doris Lewis, will get a good backing for extending our collection into a most valuable information centre on the history of women."
