Dawes joined the AEF in France to monitor finances, based upon a recommendation of the Secretary of Treasury. Most of the letters are to his mother. Postwar letters are mostly from Chicago, where he was President then Chairman of a bank, and then from Washington where he served in the Treasury Dept. Bureau of Finance under Harding. The final folders include materials which may in fact have been enclosed by Dawes with letters to his mother. Additional Dawes materials are in GLC 1601 and GLC 4048.
