Henry Cabot Lodge Collection, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Gift of John A. Schutz, May, 5, 2006. Cataloging Decision A large number of the letters and ephemera were originally pasted down or mounted into albums by previous owners. The letters and ephemera, in most cases, have been removed from the original pages and mountings; but, some evidence of the original locations (old glue, tabs, etc.) remain on the letters. It was decided that, unless it was a paper mounted letter, this original evidence would not be noted on the folders. Biographical Note on John Schutz John A. Schutz (1919-2005), was a professor, author and long-time Huntington Library reader in colonial American history. Schutz began his teaching career in 1945 at the California Institute of Technology, followed by Whittier College, and, from 1965 to 1991, at the University of Southern California. After Schutz's death, the material he had collected over the years was donated to the Huntington Library, on May 5, 2006, as part of the John A. Schutz Bequest. The Bequest included the William Ewart Gladstone Collection, Henry Cabot Lodge Collection, and the John A. Schutz Miscellany Collection.
