- Description:
The collection consists of psychiatric evaluations, correspondence, and reports concerning Zelda Fitzgerald when she was a patient at Craig House, Beacon, N.Y., under the care of Dr. C. Jonathan Slocum. Included are letters, telegrams, and notes to and from Zelda Fitzgerald, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mrs. A. D. Sayre (Zelda's mother), and various doctors. There are also copies of reports and evaluations from Johns Hopkins Hospital and Prangin, Switzerland, as well as a stenographic transcript of a conversation between Zelda and F.
