Scope and Contents

Christmas letters sent by Eccles to some members of the Roosevelt administration, later to associates in the Federal Reserve System, and later still to business associates. The correspondence includes Christmas greetings sent to him beginning in the late 1930s. Apparently, Eccles remained in Washington during the Christmas season in the 1930s, but celebrated the holidays in Utah during the 1940s. The correspondence shows a broadening of his social acquaintances throughout his career.

Correspondents include members of the Washington social establishment, including Evelyn Walsh McLean; prominent members of the press, including Walter Lippman, Arthur Krock, and Drew Pearson; and close friends, such as Robert Hinckley.
