It would make a huge hole in the archive if this is not included. Though I would urge Ben to continue regardless his conflicting thoughts are understandable. There is still time for the family to change their minds. The main thing is to get it established. I'm sure some one like Mae would want this to be public. Secrecy went against all she strived to do. Obviously any correspondence of a personal and private nature needs to be removed but any research materials all need to be included. Look at the existing archives that politicians, historians, biographers, statesmen have left in their papers and archives. There are hand written notes, wild speculation, scribbles, doodles and marginalia galore and we are all the richer for it. She never adapted to computers so I can only imagine there is a huge amount of hand written material that will be excluded. This would be tragic. And I dare say against what she would want and what Mae stood for. She wanted us all to know what was really going on.


I totally agree. I wonder why the daughter is withholding this valuable information.
