Material at Princeton

This is a more detailed description of the material Princeton holds.

I went through the  Lehmann Family Papers (C0746) boxes requested for Melanie Strong, for materials related to Beatrix Lehmann.

 

Box 83, Folder 3: Family, Trusts, Lehmann, Beatrix, 1962-1979

              Folder 4: Family, Trusts, Lehmann, Beatrix, 1980-1982

              Folder 5: Family, Trusts, Lehmann, Beatrix, 1983-1991

           

These materials relate to Beatrix’s death, which includes copies of her will, insurance documents, documents related to her estate, taxes, and royalties. The documents and letters are addressed to her brother John Lehmann. These three folders consist of 50% of the box and are about 300 pages.
