  <abstract>Correspondence, memoranda, speeches, lecture notes, writings, scrapbook, printed matter, and other papers relating chiefly to McElroy's career as author, editor, and historian.  Documents his work as the official biographer of Grover Cleveland, professor of American history at Princeton University, and educational director of the National Security League.  Includes a manuscript of McElroy's book, Grover Cleveland: The Man and the Statesman (1923); copies of Cleveland letters, 1824-1905; McElroy's notes for the book; and a list of his sources.  Also includes material pertaining to McElroy's support of Leonard Wood and later Warren G. Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920.  Correspondence (1922-1924) relates to the collections of Cleveland letters, now located in the Grover Cleveland papers, which McElroy assembled and later presented to the Library of Congress.  Correspondents include Frances Folsom Cleveland, James Gibbons, Warren G. Harding, Arthur W. Page, George Haven Putnam, and Leonard Wood.</abstract>
