Collection Description

Historical Note

Hansell Baugh (b. 1903) was the son of Atha Thomas Baugh (1855-1934) and Maggie May McCord Baugh (1867-1956) of Pulaski, Tennessee. The family moved to Atlanta, Georgia when Hansell was young. He worked from 1925-1930 for the United States Rubber Company as assistant editor in the publicity and publication department. As part of this job, he traveled to Sumatra and Malay making an educational film about the growing of rubber on rubber plantations. Other jobs included secretary at Lawson General Hospital, an Army hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, and librarian for the College of Physicians (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and the Institute of General Semantics (Connecticut). He was also a book reviewer, freelance writer and editor of "Frances Newman's Letters."

Walton Brooks McDaniel II (1897-1975) graduated from New York University with a Ph.D in classical literature. He was librarian at the College of Physicians until he became Curator of the Historical Collections. Hansell Baugh lived with McDaniel in New York and Philadelphia.

Scope and Content

Family correspondence covers Hansell Baugh corresponding with various writers while he was collecting the letters of Frances Newman for his book.
