Biographical Note

Jonathan Worth Daniels (26 April 1902-6 November 1981), editor and author, was born in Raleigh to Josephus and Addie Worth Bagley Daniels. Named for his maternal grandfather, Jonathan Worth, who was governor of North Carolina, he was the third son of the owner and editor of the Raleigh News and Observer. After attending Centennial School in Raleigh (1908-13), he moved to Washington, D.C., with his family in 1913 when his father became Secretary of the Navy. After studying there at John Eaton School (1913-15), and St. Albans School (1915-18), he continued his education at the University of North Carolina. He received a B.A. in 1921, and an M.A. in English the following year. As a student in Chapel Hill, he edited The Daily Tar Heel and participated in the Carolina Playmakers; during the summers he worked as a reporter for his father's newspaper.

After completing his studies at the University, Daniels briefly reported for the Louisville (Ky.) Times before studying law at Columbia University in 1922-23. Failing out of law school, he passed the North Carolina bar examination after an intensive summer course in Chapel Hill. He never practiced law. He returned to Raleigh in 1923 as a reporter and sports editor for the News and Observer; from 1925 to 1928 he served as the paper's correspondent from the nation's capital. In 1930 he moved to New York City to write for Fortune magazine. His novel Clash of Angels, published in the same year, brought him a year-long Guggenheim Fellowship in creative writing that allowed him to travel and write in France, Italy, and Switzerland during 1930-31. He resumed work on the staff of Fortune before rejoining the News and Observer in 1932 as associate editor. When Josephus Daniels became ambassador to Mexico in 1933, Jonathan Daniels assumed the editorship of the family's newspaper and held the post until 1942.

During the 1930s Daniels strongly supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, advocated equal treatment for Negroes, defended the rights of organized labor, and, as a result, gained a reputation as a Southern liberal. In The Mind of the South, W. J. Cash described Daniels as "sometimes waxing almost too uncritical in his eagerness to champion the underdog." While expressing his opinions on the News and Observer's editorial page, he also contributed scores of articles and reviews to national magazines and wrote A Southerner Discovers the South (1938), A Southerner Discovers New England (1940), and Tar Heels: A Portrait of North Carolina (1941). In 1940-42 his column, "A Native at Large," appeared weekly in the Nation.

Early in 1942 Daniels joined the war effort in Washington, D.C., as assistant director of the Office of Civilian Defense in charge of civilian mobilization. In the fall of 1942 he began special assignments for President Roosevelt, and in March 1943 the president appointed Daniels one of his six administrative assistants. His work for Roosevelt involved the Tennessee Valley Authority, wartime baseball overseas, the Rural Electrification Administration, and domestic race relations. In March 1945 Roosevelt named him his press secretary, and he continued in the position temporarily under President Harry S. Truman. Daniels campaigned with Truman in 1948 and wrote a biography of the president, The Man of Independence, in 1950.

Daniels moved back to Raleigh in the summer of 1945 and continued his writing. His Frontier on the Potomac (1946) recounted his wartime impressions and experiences. He assisted his father as the News and Oberver's executive editor in 1947 and succeeded to the editorship after Josephus Daniels's death the next year. Under his direction the newspaper followed a liberal editorial policy. Daniels supported W. Kerr Scott's gubernatorial candidacy in 1948 and, while Democratic national committeeman (1949-52), suggested in 1949 that Governor Scott name Frank P. Graham to the seat left vacant by the death of Senator J. Melville Broughton. In 1950 Daniels endorsed Senator Graham and worked for his campaign for reelection. During the 1950s he urged the South to accept school desegregation, and in 1956 he strenously opposed Governor Luther H. Hodges's program for the state's schools. As an editor and politician, Daniels was, according to the Charlotte Observer, not only "a graceful writer and tart social critic" but "also a force for progress in North Carolina," especially in race relations.

In addition to his editorials, Daniels in the postwar years wrote dozens of books and articles. The Time Between the Wars (1966) and Washington Quadrille (1968) first publicized Franklin D. Roosevelt's affair with Lucy Mercer Rutherford. His historical studies included three children's books and a biography of General Milton Littlefield in Prince of the Carpetbaggers (1958), an account of crusading editors in They Will Be Heard (1965), and Ordeal of Ambition: Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr (1970). White House Witness 1942-1945 (1975) covered his work for Roosevelt.

Daniels also devoted much time to public service. He represented the United States on the United Nations Subcommission for the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities (1947-53), was a member of the public advisory board of the Economic Cooperation Administration and the Mutual Security Agency (1948-53), and served on the Federal Hospital Council (1948-53). He also was a member of the board of trustees of Vassar College in th 1940s and of the United States Advisory Commission on Information in the 1960s.

In the 1960s Daniels began spending increasing time at his home in Hilton Head, S.C.; in 1970 he moved there. He helped establish the Hilton Head Island Packet and contributed a weekly column, "Sojourner's Scrapbook," to the paper.

Daniels was a lifelong loyal Democrat. He belonged to the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Raleigh and St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Hilton Head. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the National Press Club, the Watauga Club, and the Century Club of New York.

On 5 September 1923 Daniels married Elizabeth Bridgers; they had one daughter, Elizabeth. His first wife died in December 1929. He married Lucy Billing Cathcart on 30 April 1932, and they had three daughters, Lucy, Adelaide, and Mary Cleves. His second wife died in January 1979. Daniels died in Hilton Head and was buried in Six Oaks Cemetery on the Island.

Detailed Description of the Collection

1. General Files, 1909, 1915-1982.

About 58,200 items.

Professional and personal correspondence, along with some clippings and other material, of Jonathan Daniels, and a few other letters to and from Jonathan Daniels's wife Lucy Cathcart Daniels and his father Josephus Daniels. These files were established by Jonathan Daniels.

The largest part of the correspondence concerns Daniels's writings, especially his books. In this series there are many letters concerning the publication and promotion of Daniels's books. Most correspondence directly related to research and writing of the books is found with the drafts of the books in Series 2. There are also letters in Series 1 about Daniels's articles and speeches.

Other important continuing topics of correspondence are the operations of the News and Observer and the Raleigh Times, national and North Carolina politics, the South, race relations, World War II, Harry S. Truman, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and Hilton Head, South Carolina.

1.1. Early Life, 1909, 1915-1932.

About 200 items.

Arrangement: chronological.

Chiefly personal correspondence. The earliest letter is one from Josephus Daniels to Jonathan on the occasion of Jonathan's seventh birthday. There are letters to and from friends during the years of Daniels's attendance at St. Albans School and at the University of North Carolina. During the 1920s, Jonathan's most frequent correspondent was Josephus Daniels, who wrote about family matters and about politics. Many letters in 1929 and 1930 concern the receipt of a Guggenheim fellowship. There are a few letters to and from Daniels while he was in Europe during his Guggenheim year. A letter from Franklin Roosevelt, 5 November 1931, asks Daniels to "keep your ear to the ground and let me know from time to time if you hear anything that you think I should know."

1.3. Wartime Washington, 1942-1945.

About 3,000 items.

Arrangement: chronological.

Mostly correspondence and other material related to Daniels's work for the government in wartime Washington. Throughout the period there is correspondence concerning labor, race relations, the South, and Daniels's writings. Between February and September 1942, most correspondence concerns the organization and operation of the Civilian Mobilization Branch of the Office of Civilian Defense. The "Correspondence with Director Landis," filed at the end of 1942, also concerns the Office of Civilian Defense. In late 1942 and early 1943, correspondence deals with special assignments Daniels undertook for the president, especially some work relating to the congressional elections in 1942, an investigation of rich, young officers in Washington, and a study of the government's public relations efforts. In March 1943, Daniels's correspondence indicates that FDR had intended to appoint him as American minister to New Zealand, but Sen. J.W. Bailey of North Carolina opposed the nomination and prevented his confirmation.

During the remainder of 1943 and 1944, Daniels's correspondence reflected his projects as one of FDR's six administrative assistants. Major topics are the South in the war, American civilian personnel in foreign countries, the Office of War Information, the Rural Electrification Administration, post-war plans, opposition to FDR, rationing of newsprint, and the 1944 Presidential campaign. Folder 426a contains collected reports on racial tensions in 1943 and 1944. Letters of mid-to-late 1945, concern Daniels's plans upon leaving government and his return to Raleigh.

Arrangement: chronological.

Correspondence about Daniels's books, articles, speaking engagements, service on various boards, and other topics, and other material. In 1946, much of the correspondence concerns articles Daniels wrote and his book Frontier on the Potomac. In 1947, considerable correspondence begins regarding Daniels's service as United States representative on the United Nations Subcommission for the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities. Daniels's service in the late 1940s on the board of trustees of Vassar College, the boards of directors of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Foundation, the public advisory boards of the Economic Cooperation Administration and the Mutual Security Administration, and on the Federal Hospital Council, generated additional correspondence. Much of this is routine correspondence concerning arrangements for meetings and similar matters. Minutes of some meetings are also found here.

Correspondence about Daniels's political activities and interests appears at the time of the Democratic Convention, during the presidential campaign of 1948, when Daniels was selected Democratic Committeeman from North Carolina in 1949, and during the Graham-Smith Campaign of 1950. Letters in early May 1949 discuss whether Daniels would accept Truman's offer of the post of Secretary of the Navy. In 1949 and 1950, there is substantial correspondence regarding research for and publication of Daniels's biography of Harry S. Truman, The Man of Independence. Included are many letters from Harry S. Truman.

Other notable correspondents during this period include Josephus Daniels, Virginius Dabney, Jim Putnam, Carl Brandt, Will Alexander, Eben Ayers, Gerald Johnson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mark McCloskey, David Mearns, Struthers Burt, Archibald MacLeish, Carroll Kilpatrick, Howard Odum, David Lilienthal, John Temple Graves, and Paul Green.

Before 1947, incoming and outgoing correspondence is filed in straight chronological order. Beginning in March 1947, incoming letters are stapled to the back of the carbon copies of Daniels's replies, which are filed in chronological order.

Of particular interest in 1951 are reports from UNC on graduate and professional education for Negroes in North Carolina. In 1952, there is considerable correspondence concerning the Democratic party and the nomination of Adlai Stevenson. In 1953, notable correspondence concerns Daniels's research on the Wilson era. Especially interesting are his letters from John Blum, Arthur Link, and Bernard Baruch about Colonel Edward House's diaries in the Yale University Library.

Correspondence about Daniels's editorials in the News and Observer is found in these files. In 1954 and 1955, the issue of school segregation generated considerable correspondence. Correspondence about the News and Observer's purchase of the Raleigh Times appears in the 1955 files. There is also correspondence about the search for an editor for the Times and hiring of Mark Ethridge, Jr., for the job.

Prominent correspondents include John Temple Graves, Virginius Dabney, Mark McCloskey, David Mearns, Mark Ethridge, Barry Bingham, Clarence Poe, Eben Ayers, Frank Freidel, Pare Lorentz, Harold Ickes, David Lilienthal, Lister Hill, Estes Kefauver, Adlai Stevenson, Roy Stryker, Gerald Johnson, Bernard Baruch, Carroll Kilpatrick, Harry Truman, Howard Odum, Inglis Fletcher, Jessie Daniel Ames, Paul Green, Ralph McGill, Drew Pearson, Carl Sandburg, and Frank P.

1.6. 1956-1960.

About 6,400 items.

Arrangement: by year, then alphabetical.

From 1956 through 1970, correspondence is arranged within each year alphabetically rather than chronologically. Some organizations or topics have separate folders. Correspondence with Daniels's literary agents, Brandt and Brandt, and with his publishers is usually filed separately after other correspondence for the year. Filing is not always consistent. Correspondence with Daniels's editor Lee Barker of Doubleday & Co., for example, may be filed under Barker, under Doubleday, or under the title of a specific book.

Throughout this period there is much correspondence, most of it routine, concerning the six books that Daniels published during these years. The first of these, The End of Innocence (1956), generated some correspondence concerning Josephus Daniels, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, most notably from Bernard Baruch. There is also correspondence about Daniels's three juvenile books on civil war figures and his book on General Milton Littlefield during Reconstruction. In addition, there is correspondence about a book Daniels wrote about the paper industry, The Forest Is the Future, for International Paper Company in 1957. In 1958, files holding material Daniels collected for a book on the years between World War I and World War II. In 1959 correspondence begins about the Natchez Trace, the subject of a later book.

Some correspondence during this period concerns the business of the News and Observer and the Raleigh Times. In particular there is considerable correspondence in 1956 concerning the News and Observer's new building. Some correspondence indicates dissatisfaction with the editor hired for the Raleigh Times.

Throughout the period there are letters concerning issues in North Carolina, such as consolidation of the University of North Carolina (1956-1957), the Henderson strike (1959), and the candidacy of I. Beverly Lake for governor (1960).

The national elections in 1956 and 1960 also generated limited correspondence. In 1960, Daniels drafted a speech for John F. Kennedy to give in North Carolina.

There are numerous notes from Harry S. Truman during these years, most thanking Daniels for copies of Daniels's books, some concerning various invitations to Truman to visit North Carolina.

Activities of Daniels family members appear especially in the letters of 1958 when Daniels's daughter Mary Cleves made her debut, daughter Lucy had a baby, and daughter Elizabeth published a book on palm reading. In 1956, Daniels's daughter Lucy had published a novel which generated considerable congratulation and discussion.

Major correspondents include Bernard Baruch, Erskine Caldwell, William Hassett, Carl Sandburg, Frank Porter Graham, David Mearns, Mark McCloskey, Henry Belk, Barry Bingham, Virginius Dabney, Hodding Carter, Bennett Cerf, Alistair Cooke, Gerald Johnson, Thad Stem, George Stevens, Adlai Stevenson, Harry Golden, Bowman Gray, Paul Green, Lyndon Johnson, Drew Pearson, and Norman Thomas.

1.7. 1961-1965.

About 7,000 items.

Arrangement: by year, then alphabetical.

Correspondence about Daniels's books, the News and Observer, North Carolina politics, Josephus Daniels, and other topics, and other materials. As before, a large portion of the correspondence concerns Daniels's books in their various phases--proposal, research, writing, or publication. Daniels corresponded about, in addition to his published books, a novel that never reached publication. His daughter Lucy's second novel was the subject of some correspondence with publishers, agents, and friends.

Materials about the News and Observer continue. There are minutes of board meetings, correspondence about organizational problems, and correspondence about the need for an associate editor.

North Carolina issues addressed in the correspondence of these years include public television, the Lost Colony, consolidation of the University of North Carolina, the gubernatorial election of 1964 (in which the candidates were Dan Moore, Robert Scott, and I. Beverley Lake), tobacco, and the speaker ban law.

There is considerable correspondence during this period about Josephus Daniels. Most of this is between Jonathan Daniels and Joseph Morrison, who wrote a doctoral dissertation, and eventually a book, on Josephus Daniels. There is also correspondence with David Cronon about his editing Josephus Daniels's diaries for publication. Further correspondence concerns the commissioning and launching of a U. S. Navy ship to be named the Josephus Daniels.

Correspondence concerning Daniels's service on the U. S. Advisory Commission on Information begins in 1961 and continues until Daniels's resignation in May and President Kennedy's acceptance of his resignation in June 1962.

Beginning in 1962 and continuing through the period there is correspondence concerning Shaw University and Daniels's service as a trustee of Shaw.

A few letters in 1964 and 1965 give perceptions of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. There are several letters from Johnson, two letters from Lady Bird Johnson and three letters from Hubert Humphrey (1963, 1964, 1965). Most are brief. Some refer to Daniels's acquaintance with LBJ in Washington in the 1940s.

A number of letters came to Daniels from his friend Robert Alexander concerning Alexander's "war with the State Department" over his dismissal from his post in Iran.

Correspondence about building a house at Hilton Head in South Carolina begins in 1961. At the same time begins correspondence about collecting books on South Carolina, especially the Low Country, for the Danielses' library in the new house.

Prominent correspondents include Hodding Carter, Harold Cooley, Lambert Davis, John Ehle, Edwin Gill, Paul Green, Roy Stryker, Terry Sanford, Fant Thornley, Doris Betts, Aycock Brown, John Caldwell, Lodwick Hartley, Lyndon Johnson, Clarence Poe, Drew Pearson, Junius Scales, Charles Wade, Barry Bingham, Ralph McGill, Robert Alexander, Stewart Udall, Jessie Daniel Ames, Elizabeth Coker, Gerald Johnson, Hugh Morton, Henry Belk, Erskine Caldwell, Virginius Dabney, David Lilienthal, Pare Lorentz, Carroll Kilpatrick, Louis Round Wilson, and Derick Daniels.

About 6,000 items.

Arrangement: by year, then alphabetical.

Correspondence and other materials related to Daniels's books, to his father, to the News and Observer, to Hilton Head, to national- and state-level political issues, and to other topics.

Publication in 1966 of Daniels's book Time Between the Wars generated correspondence about his revelation of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's long friendship with Lucy Mercer Rutherford as well as many letters of congratulation. The book attracted notice from historians, politicians, and friends of Daniels, including Hugo Black, Alistair Cooke, Virginius Dabney, Mark Ethridge, Frank Freidel, Harry Golden, Hubert Humphrey, Arthur Krock, Gerald Johnson, Henry Cabot Lodge, Allan Nevins, Drew Pearson, Samuel Rosenman, Thad Stem, Terry Sanford, and Wilson Wyatt.

In the files for 1967, there is correspondence concerning review and revision to avoid libel stemming from Daniels's book Washington Quadrille. This book also provoked comment from well-known figures, such as Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Harry S. Truman, Dean Acheson, Drew Pearson, and David Lilienthal.

Correspondence about work on a book on Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr begins in 1967 and continues until after publication of the book in 1970.

During these years, there is some correspondence about the possibility that Daniels would write a book on Adlai Stevenson. Truman Capote wrote to Daniels in January 1966 to say that he did not plan to write a book on Stevenson (filed under Stevenson book).

Correspondence about Josephus Daniels continues in this period. The majority of this is correspondence with Joseph Morrison about his biography of Josephus Daniels. In addition, there are newsletters and letters about the U. S. S. Josephus Daniels and correspondence about naming a building for Josephus Daniels at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Correspondence about the News and Observer is not extensive but it is significant. In 1968, it concerns the search for a successor to Daniels. In 1969, it concerns Sam Ragan's leaving and the hiring of Claude Sitton. In 1969 and 1970, there is correspondence to Daniels from Sitton about the News and Observer. In 1970, many letters concern Daniels's becoming editor emeritus of the News and Observer.

In the late 1960s, Daniels spent increasing time at Hilton Head and generated increasing correspondence about his friends there and about the development of Hilton Head. In 1968 files, there is a report on a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers plan to dredge and fill at Hilton Head.

Most correspondence about national politics appears in 1968 files. There are brief letters from Hubert Humphrey, mostly routine thanks for support in the campaign. A letter from President Lyndon Baines Johnson (4 Apr 68) thanked Daniels for his support. In 1967 (18 December), Washington news correspondent Carroll Kilpatrick wrote to Daniels about President Johnson.

In 1970, there is an exchange of letters with Paul Green about Vietnam. Few other letters mention this issue.

Letters about state political issues and personalities during these years include correspondence about tobacco legislation, about Daniels's resignation as a trustee of Shaw University, about Jesse Helms, and about Sam Ervin. A holograph letter from Governor Robert Scott, dated 6 January 1969, describes the night of his inauguration.

In response to a request from historian Richard Dalfiume, Daniels wrote a long letter (2 December 1966) explaining his work on race relations for Franklin Roosevelt during World War II.

In 1968, an honorary degree from Duke elicited letters of congratulation as well as letters of amused speculation on the reactions of Josephus Daniels and James Buchanan (Buck) Duke if they knew of this honor.

Major correspondents include Thad Stem, Lodwick Hartley, Paul Green, David Mearns, Joseph Morrison, Mark McCloskey, Ralph McGill, Truman Capote, Carroll Kilpatrick, Hubert Humphrey, Elizabeth Coker, Sam Ragan, Claude Sitton, Robert Alexander, Frank Porter Graham, Derick Daniels, Ralph McGill, Drew Pearson, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Charles Wade, Lenoir Chambers, Gordon Gray, W.

About 2,500 items.

Arrangement: by month, then alphabetical.

For files beginning in 1971, there is one folder for each month. Within each monthly folder materials are filed alphabetically. At the end of each year there is a separate folder of correspondence with Daniels's agent, Brandt and Brandt and his publisher, Doubleday. At the end of 1974, there is also a folder of correspondence relating to Daniels's book The Gentlemanly Serpent, which was published by the University of South Carolina Press.

This subseries includes correspondence about Daniels's books and writings, about the News and Observer, about Hilton Head, about national politics, about North Carolina politics, about history, and about Daniels's personal life, and other materials. Correspondence about the problems of old age and ill health becomes significant in these years.

Some correspondence about Daniels's book Ordeal of Ambition, published in 1970, and reviews of it are in files of 1971. Some letters discuss Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. In 1971, there is correspondence about Daniels's research for his book on the Randolph family and in 1972 there is correspondence about the book. The idea of editing his wartime diary for publication and the idea of collecting his columns for the Hilton Head Island Packet into a book generated correspondence beginning in 1973 and culminating in publication of Gentlemanly Serpent in 1974 and White House Witness in 1975.

During these years, when Daniels spent most of his time in Hilton Head (and indeed changed his citizenship from North Carolina to South Carolina in 1974), he corresponded frequently with his nephew Frank Daniels, Jr., and with Claude Sitton, and less frequently with brother Frank Daniels, Sr., and others, about the News and Observer. There is also correspondence about the Hilton Head Island Packet, a weekly newspaper founded by Daniels, his wife Lucy, and others. Daniels wrote a regular column for the Island Packet. The News and Observer's purchase of the Island Packet in 1973, occasioned correspondence. Besides correspondence about the Island Packet, there is additional correspondence about the growth and development of Hilton Head.

In 1972, the national election occasioned some correspondence about the possibility of Terry Sanford's running for the Presidency. Only a few letters address the Watergate scandal in 1973. Letters from Paul Green and Herbert O'Keef in late 1974 express dissatisfaction with President Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon.

Major correspondents include Virginius Dabney, Paul Green, Mark McCloskey, Claude Sitton, Thad Stem, Frank Freidel, Rod Cockshutt, Lodwick Hartley, Elizabeth Coker, Lon Dill, Barry Bingham, Carroll Kilpatrick, Samuel Rosenman, Lister Hill, Archibald MacLeish, Sam Ragan, Norman Cousins, David Lilienthal, Gabrielle deRohan Leake, Caroline Gordon Tate, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Erskine Caldwell, Anthony Buttitta, Willie Morris, Benjamin Sonnenberg, T. R. Waring, Willie Snow Ethridge, Julian Boyd, Gordon Gray, Roy Larsen, James Wood, Alfred Eisenstadt, J. T. Little, Noble Cathcart, and Robert McGowan.

About 2,500 items.

Arrangement: by month, then alphabetical.

Correspondence about Daniels's writings, the writings of others, former presidents, politics, the News and Observer, the Island Packet, Hilton Head, the death of Lucy Cathcart Daniels, and other matters. In 1980 and 1981, there are very few outgoing letters. A folder of undated material contains an unsigned note in Harry S. Truman's hand detailing his military service. The last folder contains letters of condolence to Frank Daniels and to Elizabeth Daniels Squire following Jonathan Daniels's death.

In 1976 files, there are some letters to Daniels about his book White House Witness. In 1977, Daniels wrote to his agent Carol Brandt and his editor, Kate Medina of Doubleday, proposing to write a memoir. He then began to collect material for the memoir. For example, he wrote to Jody Powell, press secretary to Jimmy Carter, asking how to get a copy of his file from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The material Daniels eventually received from the F. B. I. is filed in Subseries 3.2. "Clippings and Other Materials about Jonathan Daniels."

During these years, there are letters Daniels wrote to friends and acquaintances about books they had published or planned to publish--to Tony Buttitta about a novel he planned, to Virginius Dabney about his book on Richmond and his books on Jefferson, to David Lilienthal about publication of Lilienthal's journal, to Boynton Merrill about his book Jefferson's Nephews, to Elizabeth Coker about her novel Blood Red Rose, to Scott Berg disagreeing with his account of a meeting between Max Perkins and Thomas Wolfe described in Berg's biography of Perkins.

A number of letters discuss Daniels's memories of former presidents of the United States. Daniels wrote to Robert Gottlieb, president of Alfred A. Knopf, 26 March 76, that Lyndon Johnson was the model for the congressman in Daniels's book Frontier on the Potomac and that there was also material about LBJ in White House Witness. He wrote to Daniel Yergin in 1976 about Truman and Byrnes. Gabrielle de Rohan Leake wrote to Daniels in 1976 about FDR and he wrote to her in 1977 (16 March) about the distortions he saw in the television show Eleanor and Franklin. Daniels also wrote to Dr. Alfons Lammers in 1978 about FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as about his work for FDR and about Walter White.

The presidential races of 1976 and 1980 were the subject of some correspondence. Terry Sanford wrote to Daniels about his withdrawal from the race in 1976 and Daniels responded (16 March 76) with his thoughts on the system of selecting nominees and on Sanford's future. Claude Sitton wrote (22 July 1976) about the Democratic convention. Daniels wrote to Robert Strauss (29 August 1976) suggesting some remarks for Carter.

Correspondence, financial statements, and minutes of meetings related to the News and Observer are filed under "Daniels" because most were sent by Frank Daniels, Jr. Jonathan Daniels also corresponded with Frank Daniels about the Hilton Head Island Packet and the Beaufort Gazette, both of which had been bought by the News and Observer.

Letters about Hilton Head and Daniels's views of his neighbors there appear in these years' files. There is also material in 1980 regarding the case of Butler vs. Sea Pines Plantation, which had to do with land use and preservation of open space.

Major correspondents include Anthony Buttitta, Virginius Dabney, Paul Green, Lodwick Hartley, Garland Porter, Sam Ragan, Terry Sanford, James Wood, Gabrielle deRohan Leake, Robert McGowan, Claude Sitton, Thad Stem, Virginia and Erskine Caldwell, Derick Daniels, David Lilienthal, J. T. Little, George Stevens, T. R. Waring, Peter Bagley, Bruce Bliven, Elizabeth Coker, Lenox Cooper, Lon Dill, Edwin Gill, Rexford Tugwell, Charles Wade, Alistair Cooke, Carroll Kilpatrick, Noble Cathcart, Dick Dillon, John Jakes, Turner Catledge, Barry Bingham, Herbert O'Keef, and Tom Wicker.
