Scope and content
The major part of this series ( T 188/1 -262) consists of official and semi-official papers accumulated by Sir Frederick Leith-Ross during the period 1921 to 1946. These mainly relate to international economic affairs, including the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). The latter part of this series ( T 188/263 -326) consists of Leith-Ross's official, semi-official and private correspondence, and diaries. The correspondence includes papers from his time as Private Secretary to Asquith, from the period of the First World War, and concerning aspects of international economics between 1922 and 1945. There is also a considerable amount of family, private and miscellaneous correspondence dated between 1911 and 1968. Leith-Ross had a world-wide circle of friends and acquaintances and among those represented in his correspondence are Dean Acheson, Lord Butler, Hugh Dalton, Lewis Douglas, Lord Franks, Sir Edmund Hall-Patch, Lord Hankey, Sir Ralph Hawtrey, Sir Roy Harrod, Lord Keynes, Per Jacobsson, Fiorello La Guardia, Sir Ronald Lindsay, Oliver Lyttelton (Lord Chandos), Philip Noel Baker, Lord Norman, Margot, Countess of Oxford and Asquith, John G Winant. The diaries, which cover the periods 1913 to 1915 and 1923 to 1968, mainly record his engagements, though the early diaries occasionally contain more detailed entries.
