  • "It is assumed that the collection was partially processed while in storage, so it is difficult to determine the extent of original order. Only the office files and memos from the Foreign Bondholders Protective Council maintained the creator's original order. The State Department series, composed of his years in the Foreign Service, his term as Assistant Secretary of State and ambassadorships to Mexico and Sweden, contains the greatest amount of material. White spent 25 years in the Department's employ. The most complete information is contained in the press releases, memos and correspondence generated while he was Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America. A portrait of US-Latin American relations during the "good-neighbor"--Minded Hoover administration may be drawn from the records. The papers of the Foreign Bondholders Protective Council address economic aspects of United States-Latin American relations. White's efforts to obtain payment on defaulted foreign bonds for American investors reveal his savvy and familiarity with Latin American affairs. On a more personal level, White was a dedicated correspondent to his parents, wife and daughter while he was overseas. His letters provide a colorful look at daily life in China (1915-1918), Tehran (1918-1919), Havana (1920), Buenos Aires (1922), Madrid (1926) and Stockholm (1943-1944)."@en
