Re: Maria Bochkareva
Julie Zecher Sep 18, 2018 1:55 PM (in response to Julie Zecher)I have actually just gone back into the WIKI note and I see that the account of her
having come here is from the papers of Breckinridge Long, an Assistant Secretary of State.
Those papers are at LOC. I may have to convince my faculty member to make a jaunt to
LOC.

5 people found this helpfulDear Julie,
Thank you submitting your question to History Hub!
The account of Maria Bochkareva’s audience with President Woodrow Wilson is described in a letter from Jerome Landfield to Secretary Breckenridge Long dated July 13, 1918. Although the Wikipedia citation states that the letter is in box 38 of the Breckenridge Long Papers, the finding aid for this collection indicates that it is in box 36.
The Manuscript Division also has custody of the Woodrow Wilson Papers, which are available online. The collection is also described by a finding aid, which allows you to link directly to particular series in the online collection. You may wish to examine Wilson’s Notebooks and Appointment Books for evidence of his audience with Maria Bochkareva, and the index (Vol.1, Vol.2, Vol.3) for potentially relevant correspondence.
You may also wish to consult the papers of Joseph Tumulty (finding aid), Wilson’s private secretary, for evidence of this meeting. The Joseph Tumulty Papers are not available online, but if you would like to plan a visit to the Manuscript Reading Room to conduct research in either this collection or the Breckinridge Long Papers, please contact reading room staff in advance of your visit to place a request for material located in off-site storage. Additional information about conducting research in this division of the Library is available on the Manuscript Division’s webpage.
Please do not hesitate to reply if we may be of any further assistance. Best of luck on your research!

Julie Zecher Sep 20, 2018 10:54 AM (in response to LOC Manuscript Division)Thank you so much for this reply. I have spoken with my faculty member and I believe she is getting excited about a trip to LOC. It is wonderful to have these notes on where she will want to do research. I also think that the papers of Florence Harriman, a socialite, and diplomat (diplomat & socialite????) will play a part in this research also.
