hand notebooks has been transcribed, the pages have been
numbered and lists of correspondents' names have been made.
(This numbering of pages and listing of correspondents' names
has been done for all the shorthand books in these papers,
with the exception of the books in which the addressees'
names could not be read.) In the "general" notebooks, the
correspondents' names lists have been filed with each book.
For the "Nason" notebooks, a complete name listing for all of
the books precedes the subseries. Though it is known that a
large number of the dictated letters in these books are found
in the papers as carbon copies, it is not known how many of
the letters appear in both forms.
4. SPEECHES, STATEMENTS, AND WRITINGS
This series (1.5 linear feet) has three subseries, each arranged
chronologically:
a. Those of Marshall
b. Excerpts from those of Marshall, and,
c. Those of Others than Marshall
a. Those of Marshall
The subseries of speeches, statements, and writings of Marshall
is based on loose-leaf speech books kept in Marshall's
office. Speeches from as early as 1908 are found here. Two
separate indexes (one including testimonies before Congress)
and a table of contents precede the speeches. The materials in
this subseries are, for the most part, typewritten, though some
handwritten drafts and typescripts with handwritten corrections
are found. Three cautionary notes apply equally to all
series of speeches throughout the papers: I) the set of speeches
is incomplete; 2) the indexes and tables of contents found in
the papers do not list all the speeches present here; speeches
not included in original speech books have been added since
those lists were made; 3) drafts of certain speeches which
were found in correspondence series have, in many cases,
been left with the related correspondence and memoranda.
(See also the "Speeches and Writings" section of the categorical
correspondence.)
b. Excerpts from Marshall Speeches
This subseries was arranged by subject and kept in small
loose-leaf notebooks by a Marshall speech writer who used
them as a source of quotations. This arrangement has been
maintained; a list of subject headings precedes the excerpts.
c. Those of Others than Marshall
