Description
-
Correspondence between James Robert Aswell and Rosenwald Fund staff, including George M. Reynolds, as well as with recommenders like Herschel Brickell and Mr. Botkins. This file documents the complete fellowship history of writer James Robert Aswell, beginning with his application, which included his plan of work and exhibit materials such as stories from These Are Our Lives and reprints from Story and "Harpers. The review process is detailed through numerous confidential reports and letters of recommendation praising his writing abilities. Following the successful application, the record contains the official Statement of Offer for a 1,700 dollars grant for his creative writing project, along with his formal letter of acceptance. The administration of the fellowship is thoroughly documented through correspondence establishing a monthly payment plan and a series of twelve Payment Vouchers. The file also includes a post-fellowship progress report and later correspondence where Aswell, then involved in defense morale work, discusses three potential fellowship candidates for 1942, John Lipscomb, E.E. Miller Jr., and Mrs. Sue McDaniel.
