Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... The Huntington Library in San Marino has The Lilla S. Perry journal, 1929-1970 in their Collection. The journal covers all Lilla's life beginning in 1894. The journal starts with the "Journal of Lola Hammond," which is a pseudonym for Lilla S. Perry. "The Journal of Lilla S. Perry" begins on page 316 (before that is a note by Perry, written in 1970, about the writing of the journal). She talks about her days growing up on the East Coast, her college years at Cornell and her relationship with Everett Perry. She discusses in detail her doubts about their relationship, their long courtship, their marriage, and their constant marital problems. She also talks about Everett's library work and involvement in the American Library Association, including attending ALA conferences and the opening of the new LA library in 1926. Many notable people, who were Lilla's friends, show up throughout the journal including Carl Sandburg, Charles Lummis and his wife Dorothea Moore - Perry includes transcripts of letters between Lummis and Moore, which Moore gave to her. Perry talks in detail about her Japanese prints and Chinese snuff bottle collections as well as trips to view other collections and exhibitions including her trip to Japan. In her various art interests she becomes connected to several collectors and artists such as Judson D. Metzgar, Carl Schraubstadter, Louis Ledoux, and Fujio and Hiroshi Yoshida. Lilla was a member of several women's clubs including the Friday Morning Club and in her journal she talks a lot about her work with that club. The journal includes an Index and note as well as notes written throughout by Lilla years later. Several photographs of Perry and her family are included in the journal.
