Correspondence – E-F
Scope and Contents
The Papers Collection consists of correspondence, manuscripts, articles and reviews, clippings and photocopies relating to Carter's collecting activities for the American Museum of Natural History, and to his interests in the classification of mammals and birds, and bird banding. Correspondence consists primarily of typewritten letters and carbon copies, with some handwritten letters, both sent and received. The collection includes two handwritten signed letters from Ugo Mochi, principal author of the 1971 book, Hooved mammals of the world, for which Carter was coauthor. Other correspondents include Arthur A. Allen, Walter Hoesch, Dean Sage, Jr., William G. Sheldon, John Tee-Van, Walter A. Weber and Edward M. Weyer.
