Reel 66
contains incoming correspondence discussing the problems of the
Roosevelt administration in 1935 and 1936, as well as commenting
on numerous Supreme Court decisions during those years, notably
the one striking down NRA. Of special interest is a letter (July
4, 1935) from Louis B. Wehle, Brandeis's nephew, describing his
visit with President Roosevelt, and a draft from Lincoln Filene
(July 7, 1935), of a study on the postal savings system.
Additional correspondence with the Hapgood brothers on their
family business, and reports, letters, and news clippings from
Lincoln Filene and others on the progress of unemployment
compensation legislation are also found. Major correspondents are
Gilbert Montague, Richard Neuberger, Paul and Elizabeth Brandeis
Rauschenbush, Paul Kellogg, Jacob Billikopf, Isador Lubin,
Representative Samuel B. Pettengill of Indiana, and Roger Sherman
Hoar. (Boxes G 10-1c/2, 11, 12-1a/1c)
