Herbert Welsh Papers, 1895-1913
1 Linear Foot — 2 manuscript boxes
Chiefly correspondence and documents relating to efforts opposing American imperialism in the Philippines. Many items relate to the Anti-Imperialist League's efforts to document American atrocities, especially in the use of the so-called "water cure," to an inquiry into the death of Private Edward C. Richter, as well as Herbert Welsh's 1903 demand for publication of General N. A. Mile's report on conditions in the Philippines. Also included is correspondence on organizational matters of the League, fundraising, the editorial management of City and State, other causes, and personal affairs. 765 items.
These papers are part of the Maria C. Lanzar-Carpio collection. Most of them are those that Herbert Welsh provided to Lanzar-Carpio for use in researching her doctoral dissertation, "The Anti-Imperialist League" (University of Michigan, 1928), but they are intermingled with other papers, chiefly copies borrowed from other sources.
Letters addressed to M. K. Sniffen, business editor of the publication City and State, and Roy Smith, also of City and State, as well as letters to Welsh's colleagues in the Anti-Imperialist League, were doubtless a part of Welsh's own files, as were a number of letters and transcripts to miscellaneous addressees provided for Welsh's use in promoting various causes. There are also an undetermined number of transcripts made by Lanzar-Carpio from originals held elsewhere (cf. her dissertation, p. 9-10 and 269).
