The Beinecke Library has acquired several issues of World War I-era Red Cross newsletters Hyeres Weekly News and Hyeres and There containing previously unrecorded writings by Edith Wharton.
The newsletters are available online here: Hyeres Weekly News: http://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3999462; Hyeres and There: http://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3999463.
The newsletters accompany a scrapbook compiled by Harriet B. Sanders, who served with the American Red Cross Southern Zone staff in Hyères, France, from September 1918 to May 1919 (YCAL MSS 995). The scrapbook contains photographs, documents, manuscript material, newspaper clippings, and printed ephemera documenting Sanders’s service with the American Red Cross in Hyères, France, from fall 1918 through summer 1919. Approximately 475 black-and-white photographs document the Château San Salvadour, which served as the headquarters of the Red Cross, buildings and locations in Hyères and on the Mediterranean Coast of France and elsewhere, soldiers, and civilians. Other materials include documents and ephemera relating to Sanders’s service and travel, clippings about Sanders, and correspondence, including several memos from the Red Cross, and one autograph letter, signed, from Charlotte Renaux, written in 1921.
