Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994

The papers of Elinor Ferry were compiled between the late 1940's to the early 1960's, during which period Ferry researched the Alger Hiss-Whittaker Chambers case. The intended outcome of this research were a book, "The political history of Whittaker Chambers, agent-provocateur", and the creation of a defense for Alger Hiss. Neither was realized.
