Houghteling, daughter of Mr. Frederic Delano, describes material given to the libraries at Princeton and Hyde Park as follows: "The papers which I have given to Princeton University relate to planning affairs only, and are in point of fact more pamphlets and books from the early days of City Planning, I have given to the Roosevelt Library only two fields thus far, papers relating to my father's Receivership of the Oil fields in dispute between Texas and Oklahoma; and the Mission carried out for the League of Nations to Persia, to study other crops etc. than opium. But before my father's death, his Secretary was instructed to study and reduce the total files, and to offer papers relating to any field where the Agencies might be interested in acquiring the papers to that agency. I should imagine that some Federal Reserve Items must have gone to them; and I also imagine that less important items have been destroyed, •There is no inventory of the papers, but I shall get out everything related to this subject as soon as possible, and then if someone in Washington wanted to look it over, they certainly could do so. I have been advised by the Library of Congress against dispersing the papers, and I had honestly thought of giving everything remaining to the Roosevelt Library, The items given to Princeton are just one specific line."
