Earl Douglass correspondence: business and personal, 1902 [1]

Letters to Earl Douglass received in January through June of 1902, including Oscar J. Craig, President at the University of Montana in Missoula; J. B. Hatcher, curator at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh; Claude O. Marcy at Missoula, Mont.; Mary A. Stokes, editor of the Rocky Mountain Magazine in Helena, Mont.; Kate M. Farr at Bozeman, Mont. (pages out of order); Mr. and Mrs. Grant Irwin at Columbus, Mont.; Margaret Hutchinson at Grant, Mont.; Albert S. Silberling at Melville, Mont.; Fred D. Smith at Elmira, N.Y.; "Miller" at Edwardsville, N.Y., and Princeton, N.J. (pages out of order); and M.S. Farr at Melville, Montana. During this period, Craig hoped to employ Douglass in a fossil hunting expedition, but the university's finances did not allow it. Meanwhile, Hatcher offered Douglass a position as assistant curator, and Douglass agreed to it. Several letters involve negotiations and arrangements for his employment by the Carnegie Museum. Douglass would spend the summer in Montana to collect fossils.
