Description
Papers of Algie M. Simons and his wife, May Wood Simons, both Wisconsin-born journalists, authors, and socialists. The collection includes many letters exchanged between them during lecture tours and trips to socialist meetings in the United States and abroad such as the 1910 International Socialist Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark, to which Mrs. Simons was a delegate and Simons' visit to England, France, and Italy as chairman of the 1918 American Socialist Labor Mission. A few letters relate to their editorial work on the staff of the Chicago daily Socialist and the Milwaukee leader. Among the prominent correspondents are J. Ramsay MacDonald, Upton Sinclair, and William English Walling.
