Correspondence Box 1 MS-28, Folder 4

Files 4 and 5, Correspondence, contain two folders of correspondence. Most of these letters were written by Harleigh Schultz, his first wife Natalie, or his second wife Alice, to Harleigh's sisters Louise and Maude or other relatives. The letters are mostly type-written on company letterhead from the Boston American or the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation. For the most part, these letters consist of kind words for Schultz's relatives, as well as news about the family.

Family Box 1 MS-28, Folder 6

File 6, Family, spans the largest time span, though several items are undated. It begins with a photocopy of a photograph of August F. Schultz and Hanna Ernestine von Sauermann, Harleigh's paternal grandparents. Several pages of photocopies of photographs follow, including pictures of Harleigh's parents, Harleigh's sons, and other relatives. Notes to identify the people in the images were written by a relative. This series also includes a photocopy of Harleigh Schultz's Delayed Certificate of Birth, issued in 1942 and witnessed by his sister Maude Schultz McLelland. A marriage notice and obituaries for Harleigh's parents are included, as are notices of Harleigh's marriages and death. A hand-drawn coat of arms labeled with the name Schultz is also included in this series.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
