Papers Of Other Individuals is a small series (two inches) of papers created by six other individuals but which came to be in Shelley's possession. The Emily Greene Balch papers consist of letters sent by Balch to various persons while serving as chairman of Rebecca Shelley's repatriation committee. The papers run from 1935-1937 and correspondents include John J. Bowman, John Safran, Charles Knott, Felix Frankfurter, W.W. Denton, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Although undated correspondence between Balch and Shelley is found in this folder, there is also extensive correspondence between the two women in the Correspondence series. The Richard Olsen series is a journal kept during 1977 and 1978 by Olsen while a resident at Shelley's Peaceways Foundation. It provides useful insight into the problems which led to the demise of Peaceways as a commune. The Felix Rathmer papers consist of two folders. The first is made up of his correspondence, mostly postcards, from 1911-1914 while a resident of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The second folder is made up of papers from 1921-1951, mostly relating to his naturalization and electrical engineering business. The Kripp Sexton papers are made up of one envelope of notes which were left in his room after staying with Shelley. The Paul Shelly papers consist mostly of his correspondence in 1973 while trying to locate Rebecca who was traveling in South Asia at the time. There is also a ten-page autobiographical sketch written in 1977 and a genealogy of the Shelly Family. The papers of Rebecca Shelley's father, William Alfred Shelly, include a 1904 letter from a Saginaw land salesman encouraging him to move to Michigan and a 1918 letter from his son Will informing his father that he has enlisted in the Navy. There are also two diaries, 1906 and 1910, which document his work as an Evangelical minister. William Shelly was pastor at ten Michigan cities: Leelanau (1905-1907), Riverton (1907-1909), Traverse City (1909-1912), Park (1912-1914), Chesaning (1914-1918), Whittaker (1918-1922), Greenwood (1922-1924), Mt. Pleasant (1924-1926), Coleman (1926-1928), and Oregon (1928-1929).
