Part of the bequest of the late
Louis Horst, this collection consists of five groups of manuscript materials: [Personal] Correspondence, Business Correspondence, Manuscripts, Records, and Miscellaneous items (mostly photostats of drawings and paintings). The personal correspondence, excepting a folder of letters from his mother to
Louis Horst ca. 1928-29, is primarily social and congratulatory, i.e., telegrams, birthday cards, postcards, and Christmas cards. The business correspondence is almost exclusively concerned with [UNK] Observer, the magazine
Mr. Horst founded in 1934 and edited until his death in 1964. The majority of the manuscripts, which comprise the bulk of the collection, are edited articles for Dance observer. There is, however, a notebook containing
Mr. Horst's classes in pre-classic dance forms and modern dance forms, and a second notebook, possibly kept by
Gertrude Lippincott, for a class in dance composition taught by
Mr. Horst in [UNK]. The records and miscellaneous items are scant representations of a career fully documented in: *MGZRS
Horst, Louis, 1884-1964. Scrapbooks, 1915-1959.
