Subjects The Goldenweiser Papers

fvcmt Miss Adams

The Goldenweiser Papers are in a storage warehouse in Princeton, Mew
Jersey* They are described as being in one big box, not classified nor organized.
The story is that Mr* Goldenweiser died on the day when the family was about to
move from the Princeton house to Washington* Under those circumstances all his
papers were bundled together and put into a box and into the storage warehouse with
the rest of the family's goods. Mrs* Goldenweiser whose name is Annjf, is now
living with her daughter Mrs* Andrew M* Karaarck at 61*03 Meadow Lane, Chevy Chase,
Washington) the telephone is Oliver ij.-!i298* At the present moment Mrs* Goldenweiser
is extreaely occupied with her mother in the hospital and-very ill* She is said to
be eager that the papers should come to Washington! possibly to the Federal Reserve
Board but that some funds wopld have to be provided to get them out of the storage
warehouse and properly handled* It appears to me that this might be something which
the committee could and should undertake*
Before any action is taken on this, Mr* Walter Stewart should be consulted*
This is a partial memo and further information will be added as it is
gained*
It has thus far been impossible to get any trace of the rumoured diary
which Mr* Goldenweiser was said to have left* I am told that he did leave copious
notes on certain phases of Federal Reserve Board developments and on episodes which
played an important part* He also is said to have worked with Mr. Carl Parry*
