Scope and Contents

Subseries 5.1, Correspondence, 1980-2000, contains Goheen's personal correspondence since he retired as Ambassador to India. Correspondence that was started just before retirement can be found under 'American Embassy in India'. Much of the earlier correspondence concerns invitations for talks and lectures or to join a Board of Directors. In other cases Goheen's advise or influence is sought, often for networking purposes. Many of Goheen's correspondents are from India, including Ronald Seaton, who kept Goheen informed about Saint Luke's Hospital in Goheen's birthplace Vengurla, as well as about the Goheen Memorial Church, built by Goheen's father in 1937. Some of the correspondence is directed to Goheen as director of the Mellon Fellowships in the Humanities. Much of the remaining correspondence is of a social nature, particularly that from the 1990s.
